Subject: [Tzdist] tzdist-service - Proposal - Reorganize paragraphs related to terminology

Currently basic terminology is defined in different places and some
terms are not linked from the TOC, because they don't have their own
section.

Compare with
http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5545
where the TOC lists many of the terms used in the RFC, and thus people
can link directly to them.
