Mmm, 100Mb (both as gpkg and shp and 65Mb as zipped shp. Are there any 
shrinking pills (algo's) available for those? Else maybe make it an alternative 
download? Though that complicates stuff probably.

Googling about d3js and timezones (hoping the Math-people maybe had better 
idea's), I found:

pointing to http://efele.net/maps/tz/world/tz_world_mp.zip
which is a lot smaller (but lacks the buffer into the sea/water). Ah, no longer 
maintained: http://efele.net/maps/tz/ :-(
