Just to note that I parse the source tzdb because the binary data does not contain all the data AFAIK.
Which data is that?
I have seen Java programs that expose every last drop of data in the files, except the comments. Notably, I don't believe that the binary data provides the rules themselves which allow future DST to be calculated. The parsers I write use those rules to create DST transitions to the far future.
