TimeZonePriority Property

When performing timezone detection based on browser UTC offset it is generally impossible to determine a unique timezone since at any point in time there are generally a few timezones for each UTC offest that match. Priority is used to determine which, of multiple matches, to prefer -- highest priority wins. The default priorities are as follows (otherwise zero):

• 10 - U.S. Standard (primary US timezones)
• 9 - U.S. Subzones (secondary US timezones, specifically Arizona and Indiana-East)
• 9 - European common
• 8 - Canadian
• 7 - European other
• 7 - Australian
• 6 - New Zealand

Note that there is no real chance of collision between most of these groupings, e.g. European, US/Canadian, and Australian/New Zealand. There is some chance of collision between the U.S. primary and secondary timezones in particular.
