As a member of the tzdb project (albeit one whose main effort was ages ago), I don't like the idea of expecting people not necessarily from the locale of a tzdb zone to pick abbreviations for times in the zone and then deal with complaints from people from that locale. :-)
My reply: Look at the law: the official time zone name for Tomsk is: 6-я часовая зона (If utf-8 is working, then you'll see Russian in Cyrillic letters.) The English translation is: 6th hourly zone (6th timezone). Cheerio! Oscar van Vlijmen
