these are really meant as examples for how to set the var rather than the

says "these rules might be outdated; they're meant only as illustration of
setting the TZ value", or make up places that don't exist at all.
The point is not that the rule is outdated; the point is that its
description is not consistent (it says that Friday is the next day after
Tuesday).
