Timezone item
=============

   A "timezone item" specifies an international timezone, indicated by
a small set of letters.  Any included period is ignored.  Military
timezone designations use a single letter.  Currently, only integral
zone hours may be represented in a timezone item.  See the previous
section for a finer control over the timezone correction.

   Here are many non-daylight-savings-time timezones, indexed by the
zone hour value.
