 Time zone item
 ==============
 
    A "time zone item" specifies an international time zone, indicated by
 a small set of letters.  They are supported for backward compatibility
 reasons, but they are not recommended because they are ambiguous in
 practice: for example, the abbreviation `EST' has different meanings in
 Australia and the United States.  Any included period is ignored.
 Military time zone designations use a single letter.  Currently, only
 integral zone hours may be represented in a time zone item.  See the
 previous section for a finer control over the time zone correction.
 
    Here are many non-daylight-saving-time time zones, indexed by the
 zone hour value.
