Comment(by ryan):

 Does auto suggest work only for the English strings?

 It seems we should store the zoneinfo string to the DB and not our made up
 string. We should also only show an entry if it is in zoneinfo.  Not all
 zoneinfo installs have everything.  zoneinfo should be authoritative, not
 our array.

 Maybe have an array that maps zoneinfo tz strings to our translated,
 pretty strings.  Suggest a tz only if it is in zoneinfo.  Allow someone to
 input a plain tz string not in our list as long as it is in zoneinfo.
