POSIX time is simply self-inconsistent as defined. Different commentators with different preferences cue on different aspects of the inconsistency.
I prefer to point out that no interpretation of POSIX time can be consistent with the legal time standard of all nations which was in contemporary use, as in the javascript here http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/epochtime.html As such I do not expect that international standards bodies will ever be able to produce anything other than a compromise interpretation. -- Steve Allen <s...@ucolick.org> WGS-84 (GPS) UCO/Lick Observatory Natural Sciences II, Room 165 Lat +36.99855 University of California Voice: +1 831 459 3046 Lng -122.06015 Santa Cruz, CA 95064 http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/ Hgt +250 m _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list LEAPSECS@leapsecond.com http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
