I seem to recall reading somewhere that the ISO standard for time does in
fact
deal correctly with leap seconds, by appending them to the previous minute.
Whereas most minutes run from 00..59, a minute with a leap-second tacked on
runs from 00..60.
I probably read this in an SQL tutorial in the distant past.
