Adjust commentary to try to defuse recent issues somewhat.
This change stemmed from a long discussion on the tz mailing list
about what country the Jerusalem zone entry is in. The idea of
this change is to deemphasize the role of countries in the tz
database, to lessen the amount of controversy in the future.
Due to backward compatibility concerns this change does not eliminate
the role of countries entirely. With one minor exception this
change does not alter any code or data, just comments.
* Theory, zone.tab: Deemphasize the role of countries in choosing
location names, as they tend to introduce political conflict
during maintenance, and country information isn't needed for
typical uses of the database.
* Theory: Say that names should differ in more than just case, and why;
and explain why 'backward' means old names will continue to work.
(thanks to Norbert Lindenberg for spotting these issues).
Update citation date and URL.
* iso3166.tab: Mention latest maintenance update.
Update citation URL. Add missing comma for BQ.
Be more consistent about abbreviating Sint like Saint.
Mention SX "Dutch part" for consistency with MF "French part".
* iso3166.tab, zone.tab: Add legal/territorial disclaimer.
* zone.tab: Say that country/zone overlaps can occur in both
directions, and that column 2 need not lie within column 1.
(Asia/Jerusalem): Change the coordinates from a sloppy value,
taken from an old astrology book, to a more-precise value, the
site of city hall. The sloppy value sparked some controversy and
the hope is that the more-precise value will be a bit less
controversial.

* iso3166.tab, zone.tab: Make it clear that country codes aren't
necessarily for countries. Thanks to Derick Rethans for spotting this.

was retained.

Don't abuse "`" to mean open quote.
This was appropriate before Unicode, where "`" and "'" often balanced
in visual output, but that's been obsolete for a while.
Overall, single-quote 'like this' instead of `like this', and
double-quote "like this" or (in typeset output) “like this”
instead of ``like this''. While we're at it, fix some glitches
with hyphens versus minus versus en dash versus em dash.
* Makefile ($(MANTXTS)): Use UTF-8 locale to produce *.txt output.
* checktab.awk, tzselect.ksh:
Quote 'like this' in diagnostics, instead of `like this'.
* date.1, newctime.3, newtzset.3, time2posix.3, zic.8 (q, lq, rq):
New macros. Use them for better double-quoting in output.
* workman.sh: Tell Perl that its stdin and stdout are UTF-8.
* NEWS: Document this.

Adjust commentary to try to defuse recent issues somewhat.
This change stemmed from a long discussion on the tz mailing list
about what country the Jerusalem zone entry is in. The idea of
this change is to deemphasize the role of countries in the tz
database, to lessen the amount of controversy in the future.
Due to backward compatibility concerns this change does not eliminate
the role of countries entirely. With one minor exception this
change does not alter any code or data, just comments.
* Theory, zone.tab: Deemphasize the role of countries in choosing
location names, as they tend to introduce political conflict
during maintenance, and country information isn't needed for
typical uses of the database.
* Theory: Say that names should differ in more than just case, and why;
and explain why 'backward' means old names will continue to work.
(thanks to Norbert Lindenberg for spotting these issues).
Update citation date and URL.
* iso3166.tab: Mention latest maintenance update.
Update citation URL. Add missing comma for BQ.
Be more consistent about abbreviating Sint like Saint.
Mention SX "Dutch part" for consistency with MF "French part".
* iso3166.tab, zone.tab: Add legal/territorial disclaimer.
* zone.tab: Say that country/zone overlaps can occur in both
directions, and that column 2 need not lie within column 1.
(Asia/Jerusalem): Change the coordinates from a sloppy value,
taken from an old astrology book, to a more-precise value, the
site of city hall. The sloppy value sparked some controversy and
the hope is that the more-precise value will be a bit less
controversial.
