Re: Proposal: API for thread-safe time zone functions

Garrett Wollman scripsit:

[E]ach locale will have a set of timezones which are relevant to the culture of the locale, and which will be localized, but the vast majority of the timezone database would not be localized in most locales.

Actually, I suspect that many timezones have no local abbreviations whatever, because there is only one timezone in force in the locale, and it is simply "the time". -- John Cowan cowan@ccil.org One art/there is/no less/no more/All things/to do/with sparks/galore --Douglas Hofstadter
