From Paul Eggert (2001-05-30):
Aldabra, Farquhar, and Desroches, originally dependencies of the
Seychelles, were transferred to the British Indian Ocean Territory
in 1965 and returned to Seychelles control in 1976.  We don't know
whether this affected their time zone, so omit this for now.
Possibly the islands were uninhabited.
