It looks to me like this says that the only time Japan ever observed DST
was during the American occupation immediately after WWII. I can well
imagine that they'll never adopt it on their own given that history.
Anyway, given the lack of complaints about our pre-8.2 behavior, it
seems clear that "JDT" is not an abbreviation in use now, so I'm content
to leave it out of the files. Anybody working with historical info can
always add it for themselves.
