Hey all,

So I've been trying to map timezone id's on my own until I found this
dataset.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it looks like this proposal:

http://unicode.org/cldr/data/docs/design/formatting/time_zone_localization.html

corresponds to the

mapTimezones type="metazones"

section of the supplementalData.xml.

Am I to understand that the territories marked territory="001" are the
preferred Olson Id's for all the territories sharing the same "other"
attribute? ex other="Africa_Central".

This is my impression, although it seems to have a few mapped
different than I would have expected. For example, on that original
document (first link in this e-mail), America/Cayman is listed in a
separate "unique" section than America/New_York because Cayman doesn't
respect DST. However in this XML document, it is placed under New_York.

Anyone have any ideas?

Best,
Robert
