TimeZoneNames is an abstract class representing the time zone display name data model defined
* by UTS#35 Unicode Locale Data Markup Language (LDML).
* The model defines meta zone, which is used for storing a set of display names. A meta zone can be shared
* by multiple time zones. Also a time zone may have multiple meta zone historic mappings.
* * For example, people in the United States refer the zone used by the east part of North America as "Eastern Time". * The tz database contains multiple time zones "America/New_York", "America/Detroit", "America/Montreal" and some * others that belong to "Eastern Time". However, assigning different display names to these time zones does not make * much sense for most of people. *
* In CLDR (which uses LDML for representing locale data), the display name * "Eastern Time" is stored as long generic display name of a meta zone identified by the ID "America_Eastern". * Then, there is another table maintaining the historic mapping to meta zones for each time zone. The time zones in * the above example ("America/New_York", "America/Detroit"...) are mapped to the meta zone "America_Eastern". *
* Sometimes, a time zone is mapped to a different time zone in the past. For example, "America/Indiana/Knox" * had been moving "Eastern Time" and "Central Time" back and forth. Therefore, it is necessary that time zone * to meta zones mapping data are stored by date range. * *
Note: * The methods in this class assume that time zone IDs are already canonicalized. For example, you may not get proper * result returned by a method with time zone ID "America/Indiana/Indianapolis", because it's not a canonical time zone * ID (the canonical time zone ID for the time zone is "America/Indianapolis". See * {@link TimeZone#getCanonicalID(const UnicodeString& id, UnicodeString& canonicalID, UErrorCode& status)} about ICU * canonical time zone IDs. * *
* In CLDR, most of time zone display names except location names are provided through meta zones. But a time zone may * have a specific name that is not shared with other time zones. * * For example, time zone "Europe/London" has English long name for standard time "Greenwich Mean Time", which is also * shared with other time zones. However, the long name for daylight saving time is "British Summer Time", which is only * used for "Europe/London". * *
* {@link #getTimeZoneDisplayName} is designed for accessing a name only used by a single time zone. * But is not necessarily mean that a subclass implementation use the same model with CLDR. A subclass implementation * may provide time zone names only through {@link #getTimeZoneDisplayName}, or only through {@link #getMetaZoneDisplayName}, * or both. * *
* The default TimeZoneNames implementation returned by {@link #createInstance}
* uses the locale data imported from CLDR. In CLDR, set of meta zone IDs and mappings between zone IDs and meta zone
* IDs are shared by all locales. Therefore, the behavior of {@link #getAvailableMetaZoneIDs},
* {@link #getMetaZoneID}, and {@link #getReferenceZoneID} won't be changed no matter
* what locale is used for getting an instance of TimeZoneNames.
