4.3. Time zone registry

What do we want (or not) in a time zone registry?

  • TZID and Rules should both be in a registry.

  • Re-use what’s already there (TZ Database).

  • Versioning is not necessary, since time zone changes occur in the future; existing events shouldn’t be affected by a new time zone. A timestamp on each time zone should be sufficient to cover most use cases.

  • Final implementation should be done using a standardized process, the new time zone registry should be coordinated by IANA
