Subject: Proposal to rename zone.tab to region.tab<br>
To: "<a href="mailto:tz@iana.org">tz@iana.org</a> mailing list" <<a href="mailto:tz@iana.org">tz@iana.org</a>><br>

Proposal to rename<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/zone.tab" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/zone.tab</a><br>
to<br>
<a href="ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/region.tab" target="_blank">ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/region.tab</a><br>

<br>
----- Scope of the tz database -----<br>
<br>
...<br>
To represent this data, the world is partitioned into regions<br>
....<br>
<br>
For each such region,<br>
the database records all known clock transitions, and labels the region<br>
......<br>
Uniquely identify every national region<br>
....<br>
Indicate to humans as to where that region is.<br>
....<br>
is the name of a specific<br>
location within that region.<br>
.....<br>
Uninhabited regions like<br>
.....<br>
If all the clocks in a region have agreed since 1970,<br>
....<br>
even if subregions' clocks disagreed before 1970.<br>
......<br>
Use cities or small islands, not countries<br>
or regions, [! other meaning]<br>
.....<br>
The file `zone.tab' lists the geographical locations used to name<br>
time zone rule files. It is intended to be an exhaustive list<br>
of names for geographic regions as described above.<br>
