Otel resource attribute cloud.availability_zone mapped to "zone" tag not "availability-zone" tag

This mapping sends cloud.availability_zone as the datadog tag zone. But the docs it links to, https://www.datadoghq.com/blog/tagging-best-practices/, say that the tag name should be availability-zone.
One of them is presumably wrong.
The host inventory uses availability-zone so unless the metrics backend on DD uses zone instead for some reason, this code might be mistaken/outdated.
Discussed with DD support. The support team says that "availability-zone" is just the default tag used in the host infra view, and is only used for AWS anyway. So they don't consider sending zone on metrics vs the UI expecting availability-zone in the host inventory to be an issue.
But the code is still inconsistent with the docs it links to and the UI's expectations.
I took a quick look at the DD agent code but couldn't immediately see which it sends. I did notice that in my production account the agent isn't sending any cloud AZ info at all for my Azure hosted nodes; there's no cloud metadata attached to the metrics at all, only kube metadata.
Has there been any resolution as to how to set the availability-zone in the infrastructure map view? I am currently passing the zone under the resource attribute cloud.availability_zone, cloud.availability-zone, and cloud.zone. If I just have cloud.availability_zone it gets mapped to the tag zone but not availability
