There's a lot more than just zone and DST. See CLOCKxx in the initialization & 
tuna reference (it might also be in the guide but I haven't checked.)

TZ is a POSIX requirrement:

What's in CLOCKxx that's absent from TZ, which already contains the rules for 
DST?

But the issue that spun this thread is inconsistency.  A utility taking a 
single input
and generating values for both CLOCKxx and TZ might suffice if used.
