And theory.html starts out saying

To represent this data, the world is partitioned into regions whose clocks all agree about timestamps that occur after the somewhat-arbitrary cutoff point of the POSIX Epoch (1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC).

although it later refers to those regions as "time zones".

Thanks for catching that, and thanks, Steve, for proposing improved wording aboujt tzdb's extensions to the POSIX model. Proposed patch attached; it uses "tz region" as being a bit shorter than "tzdb region".
