I vigorously advocate only the general idea of rubberization. The exact mode of rubberization is up to each individual implementor in practice.
This sounds good to me too.
Alice and Bob may choose two different rubberization schemes, but the magnitude of the difference between their clock readings can't exceed 1 s at any point. MS
And again, this is an example of what I meant by a collection of best practices documents. I think it is much better for the community to document the idea of smoothed leap seconds and then describe the dozen ways it has been proposed or actually already implemented. That way designers can learn from other examples and implement something tailored to their particular application. The one-size-shall-fit-all approach of the existing UTC-SLS reminds me of Gates, DOS, and 640K. Markus, if you're lurking, could you at least rename your proposal to UTC-SLS-1000? /tvb _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
