But the basic point still remains: If you have to sugar coat the actual standard
with a fake standard to paper-over people’s inability to deal with the actual
standard, this suggests that you have the wrong actual standard.

I would agree that we have the wrong actual standard. We've had leap
seconds since 1972, but POSIX still mandates we ignore the leap seconds
in places. It would be nice if the standards and the practices match.
Some people want to change the standards, and others want to change
the practices.
