I had thought about this ambiguity back in March but got distracted by Irkutsk's "non-change" before I could mention it. I agree, this would be quite confusing come October when Europe/Bucharest moves back to +02:00 (EET) and Europe/Kaliningrad stays on +03:00. Following the system currently used by most of the other Russian zones, KALT seems like a logical choice for the identifier format.<br>
