1972 1 9 10 f8000a00 f5 248.0.10.245 -> OK 1972 1 10 1 (1, 0)
It would be incorrect to consider the discontinuity of the difference TAI - UTC at the epoch when TAI was 1972-01-01T00:00:10 as a leap second; the difference increased by about 0.108 s, not by 1 s. Hence, a timestamp such as "1971-12-31T23:59:60.2Z" should not be made acceptable. The first leap second occurred when UTC reached 1972-07-01; the information about a leap second says something about TAI - UTC both before and after the date referenced. At 1972-01-01, however, the information can only say something about TAI - UTC for TAI on or after 1972-01-01T00:00:10, but nothing (correct) for smaller values of TAI.
