Considering the time zone abbreviations that are accepted on input, I find
a couple of bogosities:
WDT +09:00 West Australian Daylight Time
AWST +08:00 Australia Western Standard Time
WADT +08:00 West Australian Daylight Time
WST +08:00 West Australian Standard Time
WAST +07:00 West Australian Standard Time
At least two of these are evidently wrong. Who knows which?
FWT +02:00 French Winter Time
FST +01:00 French Summer Time
These are mixed up. (I doubt these abbreviations even need to exist.
France uses Central European Time.)
I also have some doubts about the terminology offered in the "History of
Units" section. It says
Julian day = invented by Scaliger, counts days from 1 January 4713 BC
Julian date = invented by Caesar, predecessor of modern calendar
However, my sources say that the first is the "Julian date" and the second
is simply the Julian calendar. Ideas?
