  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.
