It seems to me that all the world's time zones should be equally valid,
and that the US is hardly entitled to expect the rest of the world
to obey a standard that allows only US time zone names.

I think elm and any other programs that can't handle any old timezone name
should be fixed to do so.

I don't know whether `WET DST' is a reasonable choice for the name
of that time zone.  If it isn't, date should return something more valid.
