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?

I think another "see also" with a link to that page would be appropriate. With maintenance of the database transferred to the IANA, I'd also rephrase the reference as the "IANA timezone database (also known as the Olson database)"

Cheers, Nick.
