I thought the ITU had treaty status, therefore that they could decree that we all must henceforth wear Goofy watches that run CCW, and that this sober determination would supersede all other laws of God and man.  Also, is it truly illegal for computers to keep time two different ways? After all, nobody really promulgates UTC even now - rather, various messages are passed using other protocols such as NTP resulting in a separate timescale realization on each computer. TI could be interposed at one layer as long as UTC remains available (perhaps only notionally) at another. In general, any strong assertions about overriding legal entanglements will tend to emphasize the importance of maintaining an unbroken chain of historical precedent, ie., that UTC == GMT. Rob |
