<http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-impp-datetime-01.txt> says that The grammar element time-second may have the value "60" at the end of June (XXXX-06-30T23:59:60Z) or December (XXXX-12-31T23:59:60Z) if there is a leap second at that time (see Appendix D for a table of leap seconds). At all other times the maximum value of time-second is "59". But, <http://tycho.usno.navy.mil/leapsec.html> states that: The decision to introduce a leap second in UTC is the responsibility of the International Earth Rotation Service (IERS). According to the CCIR Recommendation, first preference is given to the opportunities at the end of December and June, and second preference to those at the end of March and September. Note that there has not yet been a March or September leap second, but who knows what the future will bring? Otherwise, the draft looks great. - dan -- Dan Kohn <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.dankohn.com/> <tel:+1-650-327-2600> -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, 2001-05-11 04:13 To: IETF-Announce:; IETF-Announce:; @loki.ietf.org Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: I-D ACTION:draft-ietf-impp-datetime-01.txt A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.

NOTE: The mail server at ietf.org can return the document in MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE" command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with "multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on how to manipulate these messages. Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
