Oh, yes, this heated discussion made me erratic.
I'd use a date+time indicator plus a location indication too (i
said "organization-internal shorthand of TZID" for the latter on
the TZ list).

(Nonetheless i repeat that having TAI plus the current LEAPDRIFT
at hand would ease date and time calculation algorithms, and also
that i don't understand why the existing information is thrown
away instead of being delivered along with the UTC information
over NTP.)
