Well, I think 5 (or 8) years is plenty of time (within Internet standards) to be able to find a new home for tz and make a smooth change... whithout affecting stability... Regards. El 14 Jun 2004 a las 9:06, Olson, Arthur David (NIH/NCI) escribió:
Note, though, that there is foreseeable instability if I retire in 2012 as planned. (More on this when we reach 2007.)

Is there a stable link to a document that we could cite as the specification for the IDs, instead of just pointing to an FTP site?
When you ask for a "specification for the IDs", do you mean "which TZIDs are in the Olson database?" or "what syntax is allowed for the TZIDs?"?
Either way, I'd say that the FTP site is the stable reference. According to my records that location dates back to April 25, 1992, so it's one of the most stable links on the planet.
