[tz] Introduction and apology for slamming you "with that TZ is a legal thing" commentary out of the blue.

True.  One more potential source of input, to be considered authoritative or not as circumstances indicate.  Kevin listed some places where "not" would apply -- locations subject to jurisdictional disputes are an example.

If country/UN input were the only input, then yes. If it is just an additional source of input, perhaps even one that is more timely and authoritative, then I think not. It would be up to the coordinator to act as editor and choose which updates to accept and which to reject, just like now, or so I envision it.

Cheers,
