What is the practical necessity to support continent information with the tz database entries ?
For user-interface purposes, it makes life much easier to have users select from a list of regions first, rather than offering a list of two-hundred-odd countries right off the bat. (Users still complain about having to page down to the very end of ``Americas'' to find ``United States'' -- since that's where at least 50% of the users are.) -GAWollman
