and as chair of that tc I'd be very happy to talk to anybody interested in using that protocol. Briefly - we have a timezone server spec in draft http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-douglass-timezone-service-08 which provides a simple protocol to list timezones, fetch them and provide expansions for easy conversion of times.

That's why I had suggested some time ago on this list to introduce a portable network protocol allowing tz data base updates, so the availability of data base updates would not depend on update packages provided by the OS distributors, which are usually only made available together with a firmware update.
This group works on that topic, has test implementations of protocols, and holds weekly telecons about progress
Thanks, Steve.
