Brooks,

Nice that the list has come back to life. Looking back on your original 
question about UTC documentation, you never mentioned what your actual 
application is. I think it would be helpful if you could state what your 
problem or your goal is. There are a lot of ways to handle UTC. In some 
respects it's easier than the Gregorian calendar.

Rapid UTC is not an issue this list needs to worry about. Essentially it just 
modernizes the method by which the various UTC(k) labs steer their local or 
national timescales (at the nanosecond level), a reduction from one month to 
under a week.

Many of us know all those involved. It's a small world and everyone is trying 
to be helpful.
