-# Gwillim Law reports this source for daylight saving time in Mexico:
-# <a href="http://www.spin.com.mx/verano/">
-# Daylight saving time * SPIN-Internet (in Spanish)
-# </a>
-# Law (2000-03-09) translates it as follows:
-#
-# Standard time effective in Mexico takes its origin in the
-# presidential decree of April 24, 1942. The time of the 120th
-# meridian applies to the state of Baja California; of the 105th
-# meridian to the states of Baja California Sur, Sonora, Sinaloa, and
-# Nayarit; and the time of the 90th meridian to the rest of the
-# country.
-#
-# In the country, there have been several attempts made to adapt
-# standard time with the object of arriving at a better use of
-# daylight for social and economic activities. In December, 1981 a
-# permanent time zone was decreed for the states of Campeche, Yucatan,
-# and Quintana Roo, displacing them from the 90th to the 75th
-# meridian. This disposition was annulled on December 2, 1982.
-#
-# In 1988 a Summer Time was established for the states of Tamaulipas,
-# Nuevo Leon, Coahuila, and Durango, which meant that from the first
-# Sunday in April to the last [Sunday] of October those states
-# displaced their time from the 90th to the 75th meridian. That
-# disposition lasted for one year.
