 # This file contains a table with the following columns:
 # 1.  ISO 3166 2-character country code.  See the file `iso3166.tab'.
+#     This identifies a country that overlaps the zone.  The country may
+#     overlap other zones and the zone may overlap other countries.
 # 2.  Latitude and longitude of the zone's principal location
 #     in ISO 6709 sign-degrees-minutes-seconds format,
 #     either +-DDMM+-DDDMM or +-DDMMSS+-DDDMMSS,
 #     first latitude (+ is north), then longitude (+ is east).
+#     This location need not lie within the column-1 country.
 # 3.  Zone name used in value of TZ environment variable.
+#     Please see the 'Theory' file for how zone names are chosen.
 # 4.  Comments; present if and only if the country has multiple rows.
 #
 # Columns are separated by a single tab.
