What might be possible would be to support "political" links, as well as backwards compatability links, and perhaps have a rule that if there is no zone named for the capital of a country, a political link for it be created (linked to whatever is the "correct" timezone according to our rules). But I think we'd need to be firm about that only applying to countries, and not states/provinces/... within countries.
If we were to have political links for countries, why make them based on cities at all? We could simply have Asia/Vietnam. --jhawk@mit.edu John Hawkinson
