So do civil speed limits change from 70 mph to 70.07 mph during that period? Just how much of our infrastructure currently depends on the assumption that the civil second is the SI second? Besides which, you still haven't solved the problem - distribution of the leap information is still a hassle and handling of the event isn't properly tested. What this rare event does isn't the main problem. -- Clive D.W. Feather | If you lie to the compiler, Email: [email protected] | it will get its revenge.
