    I've been working on some code to convert times between time zones. I noticed that "Namibia Standard Time" (Windhoek) has a positive value (60) for DaylightBias. It is alone in this regard, all other time zones defined in the registry have -60 as the DaylightBias. Since Namibia is in the southern hemisphere, one would expect Daylight Time to begin near the end of the year and Standard Time to begin early in the year. They also have this turned around for this particular time zone. So, it all sort of works out, but seems odd. Anyone know why Microsoft defined "Namibia Standard Time" differently from other time zones in the southern hemisphere that observe Daylight Saving Time?
