Thank you all for the quick and thorough follow-up. Roozbeh, the railway notice in the 26 May edition is a much better piece of evidence than the calendar panel, since it records the administrative decision rather than an astronomer's computation. And Tim, thank you for locating the 23 and 24 May editions on Commons; I had only checked the Mashruteh archive and wrongly concluded they were missing. Together these narrow the window to Friday 25 May, when no paper was published.
One small thing: the subject line of the patch and the NEWS entry both read "1989-05-26" where I believe "1979-05-26" is meant. The rule change itself is correct. Best regards, N. F.
