http://www.geonames.org/export/ws-overview.html indicates that the username parameter is required for the Timezone WS. This certainly seems to not be enforced. Was this a new addition? I don't remember it being marked as required in the past.

Looks like it only applied to the JSON service and not the XML. The documentation was not clear on that.

You are right : this is for JSON only.
We will fix the doc. Thanks.
