+# http://www.lexpress.mu/display_article.php?news_id=111216
+# 
+# (in French), Mauritius will start and end their DST a few days earlier
+# than previously announced (2008-11-01 to 2009-03-31).  The new start
+# date is 2008-10-26 at 02:00 and the new end date is 2009-03-27 (no time
+# given, but it is probably at either 2 or 3 wall clock time).
+# 
+# A little strange though, since the article says that they moved the date 
+# to align itself with Europe and USA which also change time on that date, 
+# but that means they have not paid attention to what happened in 
+# USA/Canada last year (DST ends first Sunday in November). I also wonder 
+# why that they end on a Friday, instead of aligning with Europe which

+# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-08-29):
+# As announced by the government and many newspapers in Brazil late
+# yesterday, Brazil will start DST on 2008-10-19 (need to change rule) and
+# it will end on 2009-02-15 (current rule for Brazil is fine). Based on
+# past years experience with the elections, there was a good chance that
+# the start was postponed to November, but it did not happen this year.

 # The latest ruleset listed above says that the following states observe DST:
 # DF, ES, GO, MG, MS, MT, PR, RJ, RS, SC, SP.
-# For dates after mid-2008, the above rules with TO="max" are guesses
-# and are quite possibly wrong, but are more likely than no DST at all.
