At Brazil, note that the Brazilian official timezone is wrongly described as
"America/Sao_Paulo", when it should be "America/Brasilia".
The Sao Paulo timezone does not exist, since this city follow the Brasilia official timezone (BRT or
BRST).
[red. This note is incorrect. The argument that "America/Brasilia" is the correct one
comes from the *wrong* assumption that the name of the timezone identifier is the capital of a
country. That's incorrect. Timezone identifiers are named after the largest city (population
wise) in a specific geographic area.]
