Dear Tobi @d70-t OK, thanks. Those changes look fine to me.

Yes, I sympathise.

Maybe, "it is assumed that the coordinate value increases by exactly 60 seconds from the start of any minute." That sounds more definitely a statement about the numerical value, I think. I'm sure the version number will be updated when the next version is made. Jonathan -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
