I meant "simple" in comparison to the rules like 
TZ="<-05>+5<-04>,M3.2.0/2,M11.1.0/2".

Fixed by installing the attached further patch, which also omits that 
hyphen - though it keeps another similar hyphen that you didn't mention. 
"Most style guides do advise against linking 'more' to an adjective with 
a hyphen, but most also recognize that sometimes a hyphen may be 
necessary for clarity."
