# So I renamed the Zones to have the form AREA/LOCATION, where
# AREA is the name of a continent or ocean, and
# LOCATION is the name of a specific location within that region.

# Use traditional English spelling, e.g. prefer `Rome' to `Roma', and
# prefer `Athens' to the true name (which uses Greek letters).
# The Posix file name restrictions encourage this rule.

# We typically use traditional English time zone abbreviations,
# and assume that applications translate them to other languages
# as part of the normal localization process.
