If you ever need to ask a user which timezone they are in the easiest way is to ask them where they are. Hence the 'Europe/Paris' is best. They are also easy to translate into other languages, which English abbreviations are not. Cheers, Edmund. PS Until I looked it up just now I assumed that CET was an American timezone :)
