That'd be news to me. Good news. Can you give URLs for this?
I just now Googled for New_York.geo, but all I found was Doug Royer's
expired draft proposal for a registry for such data
<A class=moz-txt-link-rfc2396E href="http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-royer-timezone-registry/"><http://ietfreport.isoc.org/idref/draft-royer-timezone-registry/></A>. As
far as I know, this has not been implemented. I have seen technical
recommendations for a time zone service that might contain the data
you're talking about
<A class=moz-txt-link-rfc2396E href="http://www.calconnect.org/publications/timezoneregistryandservicerecommendationsv1.0.pdf"><http://www.calconnect.org/publications/timezoneregistryandservicerecommendationsv1.0.pdf></A>,
once it gets implemented.

Some timezone area data is mentioned under "Time zone boundaries" in
