The subject line of this thread and the general remit of the conversation on 
leapsecs concerns wide scale standardization and infrastructure issues.  I 
don't believe any option discussed here - whatever our positions on the issues 
- will constrain such a situation.  That is, for civil timekeeping to exist a 
civilization (e.g., China) is required.
