as we discovered the hard way, named timezones are a BAD IDEA.     We had some
stuff in java + jdbc + postgres that used a timezone, when it was brought up in
Singapore, their local timezone memnonic wasn't recognized by postgres, and
when it was brought up in China, CST was misinterpretted as Central Standard
Time rather than China Standard Time (about 12 hours off)
