Surely this would encourage programmers to hard-code leap-second tables, thus guaranteeing problems after ten years use? At least now software developers are (more) forced to do the right thing. Also, how much error can we expect on a ten-year estimate? This is a quadratic sort of thing, isn't it, what with the angular momentum of the earth? -- Ashley Yakeley Seattle WA _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
