As I have pointed out before, I don't like the continent prefix in the Olson/style names, therefore I do not want to make this particular syntax immortal in an ISO standard (I much prefer just ":Paris" over "Europe/Paris").

Interesting example. Is ``:Paris'' "Paris, France", or "Paris, Texas", or perhaps one of the other half-dozen or so cities named Paris? I'm not particularly thrilled with the continent name either, but it does serve a purpose. --Ken Pizzini
