Time-of-day is and will remain an angle. That angle will be poorly approximated by a redefined secularly diverging UTC. There are plenty of options for improving the current approximation and/or infrastructure. Just imagine if the temporal powers-that-be had spent the last twelve years focusing on system engineering rather than politics.

They are quite clearly proposing that angle isn't time any more. _______________________________________________ LEAPSECS mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/leapsecs
