I suppose that any "real" dependency here is to transform TZ-id to
string and vice-versa.
As that is present in IUtil, changing that to require the server (or
transform IDs to string in data structures and wire protocol) would be a
significant architecture change that for me is going to make things
worse in the end.
Since there is no guarantee that the data being served locally matches
the server or other clients then it's just making matters worse anyway.
There needs to be a reliable single source that can be referenced and in
the absence of anything else this has to be the server. That is until
such time as we can rely on the local source being able to reliably
identify it's provenance. The VERSION of TZ data being used is an
essential element that currently is a complete gamble ...
