Thanks, I hadn't considered the possibility that a compiler would be 
trying to track tzdata itself.

In that case, how about if we follow POSIX's lead and specify nanosecond 
resolution as the highest the format supports? Although that's likely 
overkill, it does match a widely used standard; and better overkill than 
underkill.
