The current draft looks pretty good to me. A few small questions:

Is the shouty mustard supposed to mean anything different from normal
English usage?

Section 3:

The word "key" is used to mean both a cryptographic key and a TZ name.
Is there a reason for not using the term "TZ name" or "time zone name"?

Section 6:

Should it be made clear in this section that contributions to the code are
presumed to be in the public domain or under equivalently liberal
licencing terms whether or not the contributions are made via the mailing
list? Or is section 7 enough?

Sections 7 and 8:

Should "database" be expanded to "database and reference code" throughout?

Tony.
