It Would Be Nice if there were some standard libraries and data sets out there to enable making *good* timezone selectors, i.e. something that doesn't expose timezone IDs and instead lets you select based on your geographical location or on a nearby city. Yes, we have tzselect, but there are still a bunch of Web sites, calendar apps, OS installers, etc. that just throw up a list of tzdb timezone IDs. I'm not sure to what extent the tzdb project can or should contribute to that.
