If you want a short location code that can be justified as authoritative,
UN/LOCODE is an international standard for representing locations. The
codes are five letters, separated by a space after the first two. The first
two letters are the same as the ISO 3166-1 country code. The three letters
are sometimes the same as an IATA city code, but I don't think that's
guaranteed. LOCODE is primarily used in electronic data interchange (EDI).
It covers 54,000+ locations, and I think there's probably at least one
location in each Olson time zone. The place to find out more, including
looking up the codes, is http://www.unece.org/cefact/locode/.
