Are the "TZif1" files non-standard, or are they prevalent enough that I should be aiming to support them?
For what it's worth, tzcode ignores both the version number and the magic "TZif" string when deciphering a TZif file. That is, tzcode merely looks at the file's payload and does the best that it can do. I suppose that tzcode could be pickier about parsing TZif files, but I expect that in practice the pickiness would not matter much and there is some benefit to being generous about what tzcode accepts.
