Ah but there is a logic to them and it got documented someplace.  Crops up
in ¨text from time to time when asked about it.

Still, 10 works for my version of a total zone.  That might be
'zonecentric' ¨from Z1 learnings but never saw anyone in Z6 object to the
idea although it ¨requires combining countries with disimilar languages
here.  That issue was ¨hashed out long before I came here.  It was more of
a political problem at ¨times (India and Pakistan) and Tsuneo solved the
Korea/Japan problem by adding ¨Korea with Vietnam?
