Last Friday Sun made the source code for Star Office available from http://www.openoffice.org. What has this got to do with the timezone list you might ask. Well, one of the projects is to produce an XML based file format for use by Open Office (http://xml.openoffice.org). The Related Documentation section of the draft spec (http://xml.openoffice.org/xml_spec_draft.pdf) gives a URL for ISO 8601: http://www.iso.ch/markete/8601.pdf. Sure enough, the PDF file is there, available for anyone to download for free. (I hadn't seen this mentioned here before, but a quick check of Markus Kuhn's date and time page at http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html shows that he has a link to this PDF file so he has obviously already spotted this.)
