Yes, that's a tricky one. We've been using +03 for this sort of thing elsewhere (and you can see that in the earlier lines for Europe/Volgograd); the patch merely followed in that tradition. Personally I'd rather get out of the business of deciding which instances of +03 were Moscow time and which were not, partly because Moscow wasn't always +03 and figuring out all this stuff is more trouble than it's worth. So perhaps it'd be better to be more consistent and to use MSK with Europe/Moscow (for backward compatibility, if nothing else), and to use +03 in other Zones.
