What does the internationally agreed upon dateline have to do
with Shabbat?

As to where, if anywhere, there
might be a halachic dateline, that's been a debated and
(to my mind) unresolved issue for centuries.
One prevalent opinion places a dateline 90 degrees
east of Jerusalem, so if you care to miss Shabbat
or have two in a row, take a trip to Australia or Mongolia.
