AFAIK, ICANN now look after this, and I believe are going to fight any legal qualms. Given ICANN has some mone in it's coffers for this sort thing it is probably for the 'better' in the long run. http://www.iana.org/time-zones NZ a couple of years ago changed the DST boundaries as well - due to political micro-management. Agreed it is a giant PITA. - What happened to internet 'beats'? I quite liked 500 points in the day and being able to use decimal, I even had a phone with beats on it at one point. -JoelW
