As far as RFCs go, Arthur, Ken and I have already written RFC 8536, which specifies TZif format and in effect codifies tzfile.5. A successor to RFC 8536 is in the works. I'd also welcome a companion RFC to specify .zi files, essentially codifying zic.8. It'd be some work, tho. Plus, it's more than just specifying the input format to 'zic'; it's specifying a lot of the other stuff we've been discussing recently. Which'd be a lot of work.
