The localized 'useful name of timezone' is part of the Unicode CLDR, which lets you map to the IANA and Windows timezone identifiers. Avoiding scope creep is a good thing, especially when there are other groups better positioned to do the work.
- contingencies 5y agoI agree about scope, but they've already thrown that out the window by including biggest-'city'-in-the-zone approximations and other such cruft. However, all fundamental use cases require naming. Therefore, it makes sense to have in scope. I dare say if this project were reconsidered today, it would be very different in form and would have at a minimum a clear scope definition and half the stuff there would be elsewhere.
