-# This file contains a table with the following columns:
-# 1. ISO 3166 2-character country code. See the file `iso3166.tab'.
-# This identifies a country that overlaps the zone. The country may
-# overlap other zones and the zone may overlap other countries.
-# 2. Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location
+# This file contains a table where each row stands for an area that is
+# the intersection of a region identified by a country code and of a
+# zone where civil clocks have agreed since 1970. The columns of the
+# table are as follows:
+#
+# 1. ISO 3166 2-character country code. See the file 'iso3166.tab'.
+# 2. Latitude and longitude of the area's principal location
# in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format,
# either +-DDMM+-DDDMM or +-DDMMSS+-DDDMMSS,
# first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).
-# This location need not lie within the column-1 country.
# 3. Zone name used in value of TZ environment variable.
# Please see the 'Theory' file for how zone names are chosen.
+# If multiple zones overlap a country, each has a row in the
+# table, with column 1 being duplicated.
# 4. Comments; present if and only if the country has multiple rows.
#
# Columns are separated by a single tab.
# The table is sorted first by country, then an order within the country that
# (1) makes some geographical sense, and
-# (2) puts the most populous zones first, where that does not contradict (1).
