Yeah, I found that part to be presented in way that's quite misleading to
the casual reader.  The "US" part is the ruleset which applies to the
"-7:00" to calculate "-6:00" for you at present, but for a lot of reasons
it's not really correct to say that the last line of a Zone
declaration *is* the
zone itself.
