you can't very well put the local spelling of the name in zone.tab unless
you're using the local script. (Which one would that be -- <st1:country-region
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">India</st1:place></st1:country-region> has at
least six.) Or you could use the official translateration into the latin
alphabet, if there's a plausible transliteration. But that wouldn't work
for European languages that use diacritical marks and have no standard way of
doing without them (German does, but I don't think Rumanian does, so how would
you render the local version of Rumania's capital?).</span></span></font></span><o:p></o:p></p>
