RE: [dhcwg] I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-dhc-timezone-option-01.txt

Hi

    I have some questions:
    1. If the client supports TZ-Database String option or TZ-Microsoft
Index option, it need to have a copy of the TZ Database or Miscrosoft TZ
Database? Does it need to update the database?To use the timezone
information, does the client need to query the database ?  If the client
is not able to connect to the Internet, how does it get the database
copy and how does it update the database?

    2.If the client is not able to update the database in time, can you
sure  the timezone information that the client gets must be correct?

    Please forgive me -- I am unfamiliar with timezone.

To remove yourself from the I-D Announcement list, send a message to 
i-d-announce-request@ietf.org with the word unsubscribe in the body of
the message.  
You can also visit https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/I-D-announce 
to change your subscription settings.

Internet-Drafts are also available by anonymous FTP. Login with the
username "anonymous" and a password of your e-mail address. After
logging in, type "cd internet-drafts" and then
	"get draft-ietf-dhc-timezone-option-01.txt".

A list of Internet-Drafts directories can be found in
http://www.ietf.org/shadow.html 
or ftp://ftp.ietf.org/ietf/1shadow-sites.txt

Internet-Drafts can also be obtained by e-mail.

Send a message to:
	mailserv@ietf.org.
In the body type:
	"FILE /internet-drafts/draft-ietf-dhc-timezone-option-01.txt".

NOTE:	The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in
	MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility.  To use this
	feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
	command.  To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
	a MIME-compliant mail reader.  Different MIME-compliant mail
readers
	exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
	"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
	up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
	how to manipulate these messages.

Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader
implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the
Internet-Draft.
