The next-to-last bullet point under "clarifies that" states that "UTC is also a means of dissemination of the standard of frequency; however this function is limited to intervals that do not contain leap seconds;". Why the concern about leap seconds? As long as you know the name of each second, why should it matter that there is a leap second in the interval?
