In addition to specific names mentioned there, this specification also recognizes all time zone identifiers consisting of *"Etc/GMT-"* or *"Etc/GMT+"* followed by an unpadded count of hours less than 24 as syntactically valid, even those that are not currently included in the IANA Time Zone Database (but does not require any such identifier to be an available named time zone identifier).</p>
