Interesting, it's listed only as a bibliography entry. But there is
one rather large difference in that case and the case of importing
semver.. The IANA Time Zone db is not imported into the IS as a
standard. It's only referenced as "this thing here lets you access
that thing out there". Which is fine to do. To use semver we would
have to replicate the semver rules in our IS. Unless we can find
someone who has already done that in some other published standard.
Then we can just reference it without replication. Like we do for some
of the regex ECMA stuff IIRC.

Having said that.. Semver is small enough that it might be worth
replicating. Question would be what worth we see in semver?
