Tim Parenti’s [...] suggestion to steer users toward geographically based zones and away from the “Etc/GMT±x” identifiers is also recommended.
My apologies; I misread what Tim wrote. He was suggesting to keep the “Etc/” prefix to avoid confusion as to what notation like “GMT+1” actually means. Others have indeed suggested using geographically named time zone identifiers, and I agree with them. -- Doug Ewell, CC, ALB | Lakewood, CO, US | ewellic.org
