Apply (a somewhat revised version of) Greg Mullane's patch to eliminate heuristic determination of day vs month in date/time input. Add the ability to specify that input is interpreted as yy-mm-dd order (which formerly worked, but only for yy greater than 31). DateStyle's input component now has the preferred spellings DMY, MDY, or YMD; the older keywords European and US are now aliases for the first two of these. Per recent discussions on pgsql-general.

Fix some references to USE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES that Bruce missed; plus a few trivial improvements in wording.

<entry>South Australian Standard Time</entry>
Remove ZP4, ZP5, ZP6 from docs since the current parser won't accept time zones with embedded numerals (parsing to a meaninless "ZP 4" instead). Support "SAT" as an Australian time zone if USE_AUSTRALIAN_RULES is defined. Fix units in exposition on Julian calendar (from Lazer Henry I think...)

</row>
Add detailed information on Australian time zones.

Finish initial markup of cvs.sgml, and include it in the programmer's guide and the integrated doc. Clean up other markup.

Update documentation to reflect the fact that we now know exactly what time zone names we support.

<para>
<xref linkend="datetime-timezone-set-table"> shows the time zone
names recognized by <productname>PostgreSQL</productname> as valid
settings for the <xref linkend="guc-timezone"> parameter. Note that
these names are conceptually as well as practically different from
the names shown in <xref linkend="datetime-timezone-input-table">:
most of these names imply a local daylight-savings time rule, whereas
the former names each represent just a fixed offset from UTC.
</para>
<para>
In many cases there are several equivalent names for the same zone.
These are listed on the same line. The table is primarily sorted
by the name of the principal city of the zone.

In addition to the names listed in the table,
<productname>PostgreSQL</productname> will accept time zone names of the
form <replaceable>STD</><replaceable>offset</> or
<replaceable>STD</><replaceable>offset</><replaceable>DST</>, where
<replaceable>STD</> is a zone abbreviation, <replaceable>offset</> is a
numeric offset in hours west from UTC, and <replaceable>DST</> is an
optional daylight-savings zone abbreviation, assumed to stand for one hour
ahead of the given offset. For example, if <literal>EST5EDT</> were not
already a recognized zone name, it would be accepted and would be
functionally equivalent to USA East Coast time. When a daylight-savings
zone name is present, it is assumed to be used according to USA time zone
rules, so this feature is of limited use outside North America.
One should also be wary that this provision can lead to
silently accepting bogus input, since there is no check on the
reasonableness of the zone abbreviations. For example,
<literal>SET TIMEZONE TO FOOBAR0</> will work, leaving the system
effectively using a rather peculiar abbreviation for GMT.

In the Gregorian calendar, the tropical year is approximated as

The papal bull of February 1582 decreed that 10 days should be dropped
from October 1582 so that 15 October should follow immediately after
4 October.
This was observed in Italy, Poland, Portugal, and Spain. Other Catholic
countries followed shortly after, but Protestant countries were
reluctant to change, and the Greek orthodox countries didn't change
until the start of the 20th century.
