it is not quite correct to say that Joda-Times "functionality is a standard part of Java 8". It has rather inspired the development of java.time-package in Java-8.
Thanks for the correction. Sorry, I don't know Joda-Time vs Java SE 8 vs Time4J well. I'm trying to future-proof tz-link.htm. As I understand it from the Joda-Time web page, Joda-Time-using apps are expected to migrate to the Java SE 8 API, so future readers of tz-link.htm will mostly be using the Java API, with more-specialized uses (leap seconds? sorry, don't know the details) possibly using Time4J, and Joda-Time being a historical footnote. I installed the attached further patch into the experimental tz version on GitHub; I hope it addresses this point well enough. I'll CC: Stephen Colebourne to give him a heads-up, as I do want tz-link.htm to be accurate.
