I've also had occation to try to compile a list of time zones in common
use and came up with slightly different results.
	In addition to NST and AST I have
		NDT (Newfoundland Daylight Time): -2:30, and
		ADT (Atlantic Daylight Time): -3:00
	I also have HST (Hawaiian Standard Time): -1000
		(rather than Hawaii-Alaskan -- I understand it isn't really used
		in Alaska).
	For WET (Western European) I have 0 rather than +100
	I have different values for Australia:  for Western Australia I have
		WST = +800, WDT= +900
	Also note that some time zones are ambiguous:  BST can be British
	Summer Time or Bering Standard Time.
	I understand that Australia also uses CST and EST (and CDT and EDT?)
	For SST you have Sweden, I have Singapore (+800)
Am I right about any of this or am I all wet?
