I came from random832@fastmail.us:
"Tokens in the timezone files are separated by _any whitespace_." and re-used the any.
I wanted to say "And I assume not /every/ 'any white space' separates tokens."
I had in mind the spaces in the comment field:
ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/zone.tab
"Rothera Station, Adelaide Island"
...which isn't a timezone file. That file has a different syntax, as described in the leading comment: # Columns are separated by a single tab. In timezone files, none of the columns may contain whitespace, so an arbitrary string of white space (other than NL) separates columns.
