I just sent some feedback.

There's one other remaining issue: there needs to be a standard way for tzdist 
to exchange tz-format binary data, as well as VTIMEZONE data.  Eliot Lear 
mentioned this in 
<http://www.ietf.org/mail-archive/web/tzdist/current/msg01171.html> as an issue 
he's considering opening.  This one really should be opened and then solved.  In 
practice right now the binary data format is undoubtedly more popular than 
VTIMEZONE in real-world clients, and standardizing its use in tzdist will make 
the protocol significantly more useful and more likely to succeed.
