Any reason not to use the military letter zone abbreviations?
Yes: they're shorter than the minimum length (3) of abbreviations for POSIX TZ values, which poses a problem in filling the POSIX-TZ field. But you could do "milA" etc. Actually their origin is nautical, not specifically military, so perhaps "seaA" would be better. -zefram
