       This section defines how the IANA Time Zone Database should be used by time zone aware implementations.
       No String may be an available named time zone identifier unless it is a Zone name or a Link name in the IANA Time Zone Database.
       Available named time zone identifiers returned by ECMAScript built-in objects must use the casing found in the IANA Time Zone Database.

+        The IANA Time Zone Database offers build options that affect which available named time zone identifiers are primary.
         The default build options merge different countries' time zones, for example *"Atlantic/Reykjavik"* is built as a Link to the Zone *"Africa/Abidjan"*.
         Geographically and politically distinct locations are likely to introduce divergent time zone rules in a future version of the IANA Time Zone Database.
         The exceptions above serve to mitigate these future-compatibility issues.
