Hi,

What I am sensing from your proposal, as well as from some of the 
followup comments, is a need to further clarify exactly what the tzdb 
project's interfaces are.

I agree with this. I think it should have priority over the rest of this discussion.

Which are we talking about?  There are already the POSIX interfaces.   Are we talking about the binary files?  Is this something on which we are likely to gain consensus?
