I'm afraid that questions like these can never be completely resolved to everybody's satisfaction. Perhaps now's the time to start thinking about a system for localizing the time zone abbreviations. It would be nice if this could be done to the tables without breaking existing instances of `zic'. Then e.g. German-speakers could easily see `MEZ'/`MESZ', which are the preferred German abbreviations.
Good idea, but probably fairly complex, too. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
