As I said, the default is for zones without rules where you could assign letters, only standard time, about 1/3 of the total, depending on what you total, to allow "%s" in the abbreviation, which would have to default to "S".
Unfortunately I also don't understand what you're saying. Are you suggesting that zic's behavior should change? or merely that zic's documentation should change?
If the former, can you give an example of how zic's behavior should differ from what it's doing now? If the latter, what wording in the documentation should change?
I am suggesting that "%s" should be allowed in zone lines, even in zones where rules and letters are not used, so should default to "S" or "%z" or something. -- Take care.
