mktime is part of both the C standard and POSIX. POSIX extends the C
standard by saying that time_t is an integer type (the C standard allows
time_t to be a floating-point type) and that time_t counts non-leap
seconds since the Epoch (the C standard doesn't say what time_t counts,
thought it implies that it counts seconds from some origin, which may
not be 1970).
I still believe that optional DST and ZONE values is an improvement of
the `encode-time' interface with no real drawbacks.
Yes, that's the direction we're headed.
