I wonder at what point it becomes worthwhile to update the theory page to state (or state more clearly) that:

(1) duplicate zones or “aliases” are not created simply to honor additional locations that are historically or culturally prominent, populous, or unique in some way, and

(2) tzids do not necessarily represent the only geographic area where the corresponding timekeeping rules are in effect.

I note that the word “duplicate” does not currently appear on the theory page, and “alias” appears only in a section related to abbreviations

Thanks, good suggestions. I installed the attached proposed theory.html patch to try to do something along those lines.
