+# From Deborah Goldsmith (2008-03-30):
+# We received a bug report claiming that the tz database UTC offset for
+# Asia/Choibalsan (GMT+09:00) is incorrect, and that it should be GMT
+# +08:00 instead. Different sources appear to disagree with the tz
+# database on this, e.g.:
+#
+# <a href="http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=1026">
+# http://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/city.html?n=1026

+# From Steffen Thorsen (2008-03-31):
+# eznis airways, which operates several domestic flights, has a flight
+# schedule here:
+# <a href="http://www.eznis.com/Container.jsp?id=112"
+# http://www.eznis.com/Container.jsp?id=112
+# </a>
+# (click the English flag for English)
+#
+# There it appears that flights between Choibalsan and Ulaanbatar arrive
+# about 1:35 - 1:50 hours later in local clock time, no matter the
+# direction, while Ulaanbaatar-Khvod takes 2 hours in the Eastern
+# direction and 3:35 back, which indicates that Ulaanbatar and Khvod are
+# in different time zones (like we know about), while Choibalsan and
+# Ulaanbatar are in the same time zone (correction needed).
+
+# From Arthur David Olson (2008-05-19):
+# Assume that Choibalsan is indeed offset by 8:00.
+# XXX--in the absence of better information, assume that transition
+# was at the start of 2008-03-31 (the day of Steffen Thorsen's report);
+# this is almost surely wrong.
