Another way to think about this is to say

	The abbreviations supplied by the tz database are the abbreviations appropriate for the C locale.

	For any other locale, go to CLDR.

And, yes, this argues that implementations of the tzname[] array, and of strftime(), in UN*X systems should contain more code than just what you get with tzcode, so that it goes to the CLDR for time zone abbreviations for locales other than the C locale.
