[tz] Dropping coordinates from zone1970.tab?

[Aurelien Jarno]

Hi,

With the recent changes, geographically distant locations share the same
timezone and the same coordinates in the zone1970.tab file. For instance
Antarctica/Syowa is a link to Asia/Riyadh and appear with the same
coordinates in the zone1970.tab file, while they are more than 10000 km
apart.

The zone1970.tab says: "This table is intended as an aid for users, to
help them select timezones appropriate for their practical needs". I
have the impression that the coordinates in that table do not anymore
aid users to select appropriate timezones, so I wonder if they should
just get dropped.

Regards,
Aurelien
