TAI makes sense for clocks on the surface of the earth (at least until ion trap clocks and picosecond intercomparison become routine, at which point not even TAI tells what time it is for you), but clocks off the surface of the earth tick at rates which already differ nonlinearly from TAI by measurable amounts. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
