I"m still not sure. imagine this case:

someone starts with a bunch of UTC timestamps from, say 2018, right about now.

They decide to store the data in their CF file as: "seconds since 
2000-01-01T00:00:00".

They compute the number of seconds with a no-leap-second-aware library.

Is that timestamp Correct UTC??? Does it matter??
