[tz] tabs vs spaces

;)   We should change to an XML format that can be validated against
version-ed schema(s) rather then keeping this legacy format accessible only

Now a patch to zic for it to translate to a standard XML format would be
useful.

But then again, nothing seems to be broken at the moment ...
