Sri Lanka standard time is SLST.

Thanks for bringing this up. The last time I checked, I found few English-language instances of "SLST" standing for time in Sri Lanka. I just now checked again, and although I found more usage, it cannot be said to have taken off. For now, as I mentioned earlier on this mailing list (see the thread ending in <http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2016-April/023542.html>) I'm inclined to switch to numeric time zone abbreviations like "+0530" for Sri Lanka. We can switch to "SLST" later if it catches on in the broader English-language community. Proposed patch attached.
