stuff always changes, next year the US will implement DST changes. and you 
really don't want to track global changes (there are more two-bit politicians 
with crackpot ideas than cf developers i think), it's a full-time job and there 
are already folks doing that. their data makes it's way slowly into core java 
or 
relatively much quicker into icu4j (it's a lib).
