I agree that its worth registering a zoneinfo/tzdata/tzfile (or whatever) media type. I don't know if this can/should be done outside of a WG. I'll leave that for the chairs/ADs to decide. Having just written an iCalendar -> tzfile(5) translator, I'd be willing to help write a draft, but would defer to Paul on this. >> 2) Something new to think about: should we propose that IANA run a >> tzdist service as another facet of the time zone database support they >> do?

I would think that admins and OS vendors would love to have "real-time" updates of tzdata rather than having to download, compile, and distribute that data themselves. If the community were to switch to using tzdist for tzdata distribution, IANA seems to be an appropriate primary provider. I'd be willing to contribute to and/or review a draft of the service requirements. -- Kenneth Murchison Principal Systems Software Engineer Carnegie Mellon University
