Speaking to "I don't think I'd want Unicode specifying any of:" We'd be hosting the TZ group; the process the group uses and its output would be up to the group. (The only thing we'd need is for the group to provide a description of whatever process *is* being followed.) Mark And by the way, even for Unicode, the consortium is not in the business of specifying APIs or binary file formats; I don't know where that perception arose.

I would think this would be a good move for both TZ and Unicode.
Why? Beyond getting localized time zone names in the CLDR, where's the expertise?
If this is just an offer for hosting an HTTP and FTP site, then cool; but I don't think I'd want Unicode specifying any of: - source file formats. - binary file formats. - APIs.
