A metadata file would be great. XML might be a good format. The
XML is almost never a good format. This is not a space tzdb should innovate in. (OK, sure, an additional XML file would be OK, but not to rely on...) The obvious answer, since www.iana.org runs Apache, is to turn on Apache's mod_autoindex (https://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/mod/mod_autoindex.html) of the directory in question. It's not a standards-track protocol but it's definitely a de facto standard for http directory listings and better than most other choices... --jhawk@mit.edu John Hawkinson
