Time database

Desired features:

Time keeping database (tkdb)	IANA time zone database (tzdb)
Exactly one term for one kind of object	Uses terms interchangeably (region, zone), and uses ambiguous terms (zone for IANA zones and real world zones)
Provisional name for smallest geographic unit: "sector"	Smallest geographic unit is named "zone"
New sectors are created only by splitting and deprecating old sectors, so a user can know if an ID needs a check for correctness.	User can link an object to a tzid, but get's no notification if later the object is located in another zone having a different tzid Different locations are linked, e.g. Vaduz points to Zurich, Tel Aviv to Jerusalem
Record all legal time	no time for Bouvet Island, while Norwegian government has defined it, /2/ limited support for pre-1970 data
Provide time zone acronyms that are unique within each country and at any given point in time refer to only one offset from a base time	Uses EST and CST for time stamps of zones in Australia that use DST and those that do not. That means for a given point in time during summer the offset from UTC and therefore UTC itself cannot be derived from the local time representation.
ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 codes for countries	ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 codes for countries. Some of the codes have been re-assigned, e.g. CS can refer to Czechoslovakia or Serbia and Montenegro.
