Each metazones represent a set names that can be used across multiple TZ ids. There can be overrides by TZ id, such as the current:
<zone type="Europe/London"> <long> <daylight>British Summer Time</daylight> </long> </zone> <zone type="Europe/Dublin"> <long> <daylight>Irish Standard Time</daylight> </long> </zone>
Both of these inherit
<standard>Greenwich Mean Time</standard>
So a current implementation, with no changes, will get for Europe/Dublin:
<standard>Greenwich Mean Time</standard> <daylight>Irish Standard Time</daylight>
So just to be clear, CLDR *could* support a Europe/Dublin that had an independent metazone with <standard>Irish Standard Time</standard><daylight>Greenwich Mean Time</daylight>, it's just that synchronizing such a change with the tzdb change is intractable, right? (that version number field is looking more and more important...)
