New Russia map without DST. Alexander, Derick, and the TZ group: Is there any one person (or subgroup of people) within the TZ Group who is (are) advocating that time zones be pulled out of the UTC offset and that time zones be known simply as TZ 1-to-24? My reference on this topic is within the right column of this page: http://smallbusinessschool.org/page2424.html Is this a silly concept? Is so, I would be very interested to learn why.. Thank you.

Did you perhaps miss those in the 2011e update? I know that at least Ulan-Ude didn't make it in.
cheers, Derick
