   I basically agree with this, but watch out for time zone names that contain
   characters with the high bit on!  I don't know that any are in use, but
   as far as I know, there's nothing in the (other) time zone mechanisms to
   prevent them from being created.

Except that RFC 822 and 821 specify that Internet mail is 7-bit, only.
