It would be very helpful for us if we could get a release quickly that added these to zone.tab (with new IDs and Links). Any possibility of that?
Hmm, OK, what's the rush? This doesn't affect any time zone data per se; it's just auxiliary info. (Are the 7000 people of St Barthelemy bombarding us with email, demanding that they not be forced to set TZ='America/Guadeloupe'? :-)
For the IDs, I'd suggest either Saint_Barthelemy or Gustavia for the first, and either Saint_Martin or Marigot for the second.
I have been leaning towards America/St_Barthelemy and America/Marigot, for reasons discussed earlier on this list.
These country codes were split off from Guadeloupe, and so had the same timezone rules. So they can be initially Linked to Guadeloupe.
Yes, that makes sense.
