This is partly why I tried to compile a list of use cases for direct consumption of the source text files:
https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2021-October/030950.html <https://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2021-October/030950.html>

Knowing how and why people are using the files helps define what gets “blessed” as a supported interface.

Gil
