There is no "Etc/GMT+11" named here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Listoftzdatabasetimezones nor is it included in /usr/share/zoneinfo/zone.tab in either of the systems I looked at (one Debian, one Centos), but there is Etc/GMT. So I conclude that the PEP allows timezone rules, not just names.
FWIW, my Ubuntu box has zone data for 'ETC/GMT+11':
$ file /usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Etc/GMT+11
/usr/share/zoneinfo/posix/Etc/GMT+11: timezone data, version 2,
1 gmt time flag, 1 std time flag, no leap seconds, no transition times,
1 abbreviation char
