Timezone documentation buglet

Hello,
I'm a GNU webmaster; recently we received a bug report
against glibc manual web pages, and we decided that I should
submit a report to glibc maintainers.
I've checked that the bug is present in glibc-2.19 and GIT master
(as of 798212a013). I haven't check glibc bug database
and I'm not submitting it via [0] because it doesn't work for me
('Page Load Error', probably due to SSL issues).
Since it's a request for a minor documentation fix,
I hope that my actions are sufficient.
Thank you!
