My proposal is to use some sort of network protocol to deploy the contents of the tz DB, either for a single time zone used on a system, or even for all time zones supported by the tz database.
See the efforts of http://calconnect.org/tc-timezone.shtml Be aware that they are working in a framework which does not share all the vocabulary of the IANA tz community efforts and that their draft does not currently transport the information found in the tz "leapseconds" file. -- Steve Allen <sla@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory--ISB Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 1156 High Street Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m
