I see now that POSIX marks 'daylight' and 'timezone' with "XSI", meaning it's optional and present only if the X/Open Systems Interfaces option is supported, so perhaps tzcode should have a different macro for identifiers that are XSI rather than core POSIX.

That is in fact the position FreeBSD has long taken. We implement the historic BSD timezone(3) function. -GAWollman
