After quickly looking through the above output, I suggest the following set of 95 entries from the tz database with unique UTC offset futures. For example, this list uses the name `Europe/Paris' for CET/CEST (though perhaps `Europe/Brussels' would be more appropriate :-).
Non, non... Paul, I remind you the rules for naming (from africa): # Use the most populous among locations in a country's time zone, # e.g. prefer `Shanghai' to `Beijing'. Among locations with # similar populations, pick the best-known location, # e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Milan'. So we should stick with Europe/Paris, since it is much bigger. ;-) Antoine
