I've applied this along with some extra work to get it to show GMT
offsets and DST status, which should be useful for helping people
to choose which setting they want. This effectively obsoletes
Table B-5 as well as B-4 in the SGML docs ... we should probably
remove both of those in favor of recommending people look at the
views.

I did the basic documentation work in catalogs.sgml for these views,
but Appendix B still needs an update. Joachim, you were going to do
that, right?
