- The rationale at the end says that leap seconds would be difficult to implement. - My experiments with simple ptime subtraction suggest no leap second support.
I am really confused.
The confusion cannot go away for retrospective calculations with UTC.
See the javascript program and text on this web page
http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/leapsecs/epochtime.html
The scenario in that example helps to explain why it is that the
international committees have been unable to produce a consensus on
changes to UTC. The delegates are constrained by the legal history of
the nations they represent.
