I want to compute the correct interval between two timestamps. I guess I not only don't see why it's impossible, I don't even see why it is difficult.
If these are TAI timestamps, then we can. If they are UTC timestamps, then we cannot in general, because we have no way of knowing whether or not there was an intervening leap-second. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
