Well, apart from the fact that a day is not a year, there is no denying
that between 0:00 UTC on one day and the next, there have elapsed 86401
SI seconds if there has been a leap second.

Both UTC and TAI count SI-seconds, but you seem to differentiate between
the two. How you want to express durations "in UTC" or "in TAI" is
unclear to me and I prefer avoid it altogether.
