I received this comment this morning on the timezones data model.  As this document is now in the hands of the working group I thought I would pass along this comment to the group.

Should enum value 0 be a “unknown” state?  There is no such value in the iana timezone database, and in netconf, if the node is not configured, it just wouldn’t be present correct?

Thanks
-Jeff

Re: http://tools.ietf.org/id/draft-lange-netmod-iana-timezones-01.txt

In the document, the enumeration value of zero is assigned (Andorra had been valued 1).
I would prefer that the zero valued enumeration remain unassigned to a specific timezone location.
It has been a convenient and sensible way to indicate 'the local timezone' in situations where the specific localization is as yet unknown or otherwise unresolved.

Respectfully,
