Ah! I am starting to understand. Leap Second steering is accomplished with
the PTFF instruction and is independent of CVTLSO. PTFF appears to slow down
the physical clock.

So ... steering and CVTLSO are essentially alternatives, right? CVTLSO
should not include any leap seconds that were previously (or were about to
be) "steered" -- is that right? And if a shop is using STP it is probably
not modifying CVTLSO: CVTLSO is probably either zero, or at least stable. Am
I getting this right?

*Somebody* sets it ... who and how?

I don't think that CVTLSO is used by STP.
