Thanks, added with the attached patch.
Not specifically related to time zones, but those interested in date and time notations will also want to keep this one handy, if for no other reason than to use as the occasional cluebat: https://xkcd.com/1179/
Hah! That one has a typo: it lists 1330300800 as a "discouraged format" for 2013-02-27, but that's off by a year. The panel should have said 1361923200, not 1330300800. I looked into how to file a bug report against xkcd, and found only "Consipiracy Theories" <https://xkcd.com/258/>. But it turns out that the problem with 1330300800 is a known bug; see <https://www.explainxkcd.com/wiki/index.php/1179:_ISO_8601>. Unlike the tz project, xkcd is not obliged to fix bugs in released versions.
