The general idea is that TAI time is accompanied by a value which is the current difference between TAI and UTC. That in itself is interesting, but more interesting is the fact that it can go both forwards and backwards without a leap second table.
We have no way of finding out what this value is. The system clock only gives us UTC. -- Ashley Yakeley, Seattle WA
