Ok, *now* I get it :) It will be fixed in the next run of the
documentation build. Thanks for staying persistent.

Madagascar is an island in the Indian Ocean, hence the TZ region
shortname "Indian". This is confusing but acceptable.

The thing that is less acceptable about this country is the fact that
the TZ databases clearly says "Africa" but PHP says "Asia":

http://ch2.php.net/manual/en/timezones.asia.php
                                       ^^^^

says "List of timezones in the group Asia" ... "Indian/Antananarivo".

Am I clear?

In the database it is defined in the "africa" file as:

# Madagascar
# Zone  NAME        GMTOFF  RULES   FORMAT  [UNTIL]
Zone Indian/Antananarivo 3:10:04 -  LMT 1911 Jul
            3:00    -   EAT 1954 Feb 27 23:00s
            3:00    1:00    EAST    1954 May 29 23:00s
            3:00    -   EAT

No clue why they put it in the Indian group but it's not something we
(as PHP team) can change.

Indian/Antananarivo is the capital city of Madagascar.

There isn't even a zone called Indian/Madagascar... so what are you
talking about? (And keep this bug bogus)
