And then there are locales that have implemented a set of DST rules that are 1/4 hour, not full hour, adjustments. For example, I believe I read on the IANA site about time zones that Nepal is a 00:15 or maybe 00:45 adjustment when DST kicks in and out.

Parts of Texas are in two different time zones. I believe at least one other state is split also. Some states in Australia implement DST while others don't.
