Need a small clarification on tzvalue in About operation.
According to documentation we can mention city name as timezone value.
So, we had a discussion on whether timezone should be Continent/City or just city name.
The Continent/City format relates to zoneinfo database, and for haystack city name is enough for tz value.
Is this assumption correct ?
Thanks in advance.

Haystack uses just city name since tz is used so extensively and city name is a unique key. So its always just city name such as "New_York". See /doc/TimeZones

Yes - in Haystack the tz tag MUST be just the city. From the tz documentation:
All timezones in Haystack are repesented using the city name of an entry in the Olsen database.
