Defines a TZID iCalendar component property. 

     4.8.3.1 Time Zone Identifier

        Property Name: TZID

        Purpose: This property specifies the text value that uniquely
        identifies the "VTIMEZONE" calendar component.

        Value Type: TEXT

        Property Parameters: Non-standard property parameters can be
        specified on this property.

        Conformance: This property MUST be specified in a "VTIMEZONE"
        calendar component.

        Description: This is the label by which a time zone calendar
        component is referenced by any iCalendar properties whose data type
        is either DATE-TIME or TIME and not intended to specify a UTC or a
        "floating" time. The presence of the SOLIDUS character (US-ASCII
        decimal 47) as a prefix, indicates that this TZID represents an
        unique ID in a globally defined time zone registry (when such
        registry is defined).

             Note: This document does not define a naming convention for time
             zone identifiers. Implementers may want to use the naming
             conventions defined in existing time zone specifications such as
             the public-domain Olson database [TZ]. The specification of
             globally unique time zone identifiers is not addressed by this
             document and is left for future study.

        Format Definition: This property is defined by the following
        notation:

          tzid       = "TZID" tzidpropparam ":" [tzidprefix] text CRLF

          tzidpropparam      = *(";" xparam)

          ;tzidprefix        = "/"
          ; Defined previously. Just listed here for reader convenience.

        Example: The following are examples of non-globally unique time zone
        identifiers:

          TZID:US-Eastern

          TZID:California-Los_Angeles

        The following is an example of a fictitious globally unique time zone
        identifier:

          TZID:/US-New_York-New_York
