TZ doesn't care really, so that's not an issue. However there is lots of other code which believes it sane to parse the zone acronym and draw conclusions from it (that is, if "CET" appears, it must mean UTC+01 and if CEST is there, it must mean UTC+02). That's horribly unreliable, and should be squashed. But it is more widespread than you'd think. kre
