It seems safe to assume, then, that the range of time zones will remain
greater than 24 hours in the near future. 199 hours (the range supported
by 2822) is much bigger than the current requirement of 27 hours, but what
should the limit be? 28? 30? 48? 49?
Clearly plus or minus 12 hours is insufficient.
The next obvious "break point" would be plus or minus 24 hours. That
accomodates everything that could be conceivably needed (and way beyond),
but anything greater that 24 would be an order of magnitude more weird
than that.
