The old format was nicely documented in tzfile(5):

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man5/tzfile.5.html

Through this it kinda has become API. Which doesn't mean it can't be
changed, but can we please make sure that the new format is as well
documented as the old one, i.e. please update that man page along with
this new feature.

Thanks,

Lennart
