It's not really that I personally would want it; it is that we can't point people to a document that they can read, that describes a specification.

like "olson_tzid_specification.txt" (or .html or .pdf) that people can read to tell them how the Olson TZIDs are defined by the data files in that directory.
If you just want a list of TZIDs, then the zone.tab file is perhaps your best bet right now. Admittedly there's no single URL for it but it's not hard to give directions for deriving it.
If you want to know exactly the data are derived then the zic man page is the specification. You can Google "zic man page" if it's too much of a pain to unpack it from the canonical location.
