As I mentioned in my previous email, there is no POSIX TZ setting for Iran 
because its DST changes don't follow the Gregorian calendar. The string at the 
end of the Asia/Tehran file is just an approximation. As near as I can tell, the 
string "<+0330>-3:30<+0430>,J80/0,J264/0" at the end of the Asia/Tehran file has 
the same behavior as the approximation that the "asia" file uses for far-future 
timestamps in Asia/Tehran. So we should be OK here.

I don't see why not. POSIX says that omitting the J makes it possible to specify 
February 29, so clearly omitting the J is valid for pre-March dates.

But always putting the "J" in, even when not needed, adds a byte to the output 
file for rules in January and February.

That wouldn't be useful for dates after February, as tzdb Rule lines for those 
dates never correspond to 0-based Julian days.
