As per my reply to Tim, users will opt to use tzdist servers that do provide timely and accurate updates if they start missing meetings because the ones they are using (or their reliance on just OS updates) fail them. > Historic material archived today will tag the publisher and the version, > and as long as in 10 years time the matching data can be recovered there > is not a problem.

So in ten years time the historians can just look at what data was current on the date of the event. They can also look and see if there was a time zone change prior to that time and use that to determine the accuracy of the actual time stamp (e.g., if the tzid being used was last changed one year prior to the event, then the probability of that event's actual time being correct is very high, if it was changed only a day or two before the event, then the probability is a lot lower, though if they know a reliable tzdist server was in use, then they can probably bump the probability up). My key point here is that if version information really is important to the client, then they can insert that themselves from the data already provided by tzdist - e.g., include the actual URI for the tzdist data and the "primary-source" value from the /capabilities response, if the URI did not include /publisher or /versions segments. -- Cyrus Daboo
