[tz] Fw: Asia/Jakarta timezone acronym is misleading [RECAP]

[Hank W.]

I REALLY like the four-letter proposed designations.  However, I suggest
changing USXX to NAXX, since one set of abbreviations is shared by every
North American country except Cuba.  Also, I'd like to suggest simply
appending a "+" to indicate daylight saving time/ summer time (e.g., NAET+).

Nope, I didn't know about that. They would be good substitute acronyms to
use. Thanks for the information. I'll add some information about this
WIB/WIT confusion to the tango.info/wiki later today.
