What about making the leap seconds table (LST) a parameter of the UTC/TAI conversion?
That is definitely a good idea. If I didn't get it wrong, then any TAI to Calendar Time conversion needs this information to be accurate: * TAI time to convert, * TAI time when the above timestamp was created, * and the table of leap seconds in TAI. This is the only way a TAI timestamp into the future can be converted back to Calender Time accurately -- at all points in time. Or so I believe. Peter
