Abstract:
This document defines the Time Zone Information File Format for
representing and exchanging time zone information, independent of any
particular service or protocol. A MIME media type for this format is
also defined.
Open Issues
o Need to review definitions of terms.
o Should we require TZDIST servers to always return a particular
format (2 or 3) with/without leap seconds? Or should we allow the
client to choose what they want (via parameters on the MIME type)?
o Are we referencing the correct and most current versions of the
relevant POSIX specs?
o Is the MIME registration complete and correct (e.g. any security
or privacy considerations)?
Please note that it may take a couple of minutes from the time of submission
until the htmlized version and diff are available at tools.ietf.org.
