1734d51c53 Use @sc where appropriate. Document the
ranges of supported times more precisely.  Correct menu
spacing.  Document old Latin 12m/12pm tradition.  Remove list
of alphabetic time zone names, as it wasn't correct and people
shouldn't be relying on it anyway.  Relative items also
account for non-DST adjustments.  Fix some misspellings.
