The original reason for the latest discussion was actually precipitaed from a request of clarity into why Greenland time zone designator was changed from GST/WGST to -3. The original author said that he felt GST/WGST was in common usage. I believe the answer should have been that he should provide evidence that it is in common usage in Greenland, preferably documentation of what the Greenland government prefers for the designator.

Frankly, I've long thought the whole idea of fully-opaque IDs is a non-starter, and I'd much rather see our collective efforts spent elsewhere. Time zones are inherently geopolitical in nature; we can certainly work to minimize the impact of geopolitics on this project, but we cannot eliminate it entirely, and efforts to do so are fruitless. +1
