I believe that the following change to comments is implied by my analysis
and should also be applied.

I also claim that, since the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man are not
part of the UK but form three semi-independent territories (the Bailiwicks
of Guernsey and of Jersey and the Isle of Man) (with their own TLDs, .gg,
.je, .im), they should have their own zone names, following the principles
in the Theory file, even though there is little enough information
concerning timezone differences between them and the UK and they almost
certainly have agreed since 1970.
