This paragraph of documentation is very similar to the documentation
on the Olson timezone database:
ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/data/Theory
Names normally have the form AREA/LOCATION, where AREA is the name
of a continent or ocean, and LOCATION is the name of a specific
location within that region. North and South America share the same
area, 'America'. Typical names are 'Africa/Cairo', 'America/New_York',
and 'Pacific/Honolulu'.
This strongly indicates that zoneinfo-style-world-list just refers to
timezone names as listed in that database.
Armed with this knowledge, you can try using "Etc/UTC", and browse the
database for names of other time zones.
