Everything Zefram says is what I was trying to say and failing. I would only add that: 1) TAI-UTC refers to broken-down time, not to the count of seconds since some epoch. TAI-UTC is currently 37 seconds, which means that at 2018-11-05T13:43:00 UTC time (approximately when I am writing this) it is 2018-11-05T13:43:37 TAI time. 2) Posix time, unlike UTC really does label leap seconds with the same integer as the preceding second. > >Having said all of this, I should admit that I'm not an expert on time > >standards, > > I am. > He is. -- John Cowan http://vrici.lojban.org/~cowan co...@ccil.org There is no real going back.
