alternative zone names, then an entry in file europe

But *which* alternative names? Can I request Europe/Cambridge?
Europe/Swavesey? Europe/Benbecula?

No, you cannot.

The theory.html files describes quite clearly the rules for which towns qualify as zone names.
My suggestion refers primarily to relaxed spelling options for these towns.

The Palestinan request contradicts the rules in the theory file. tzdb does not aim to represent capitals for zone names, but the most important population center.

Because Hebron is the most populous town in Palestine, it is correctly used as zone name.
