Yes, that is an excellent page for learning about
the mess we are in.  Note that it is headed "Unix time".
That's why I am reluctant to follow Unix too closely.

With the count of seconds changed to an integer,
I don't think I have any big worries.  As I said,
I am not attached to the names.  I'll reply to
your previous message after I think for a while.
