sigh, you're right: I'll fix them once the below point is clarified

Also, I'm not sure everybody knows what the "Olson database" is, so maybe that should be explained too.

I had considered that, but then I found another reference of "Olson database" in an example right before the seealso note, so I left it as it is. On a second thought, it might be better to clarify what Olson db is, do you think a link (f.e to here: http://www.iana.org/time-zones ) could be enough or (or in addition) also a brief note is needed?
