I regard timezones (as opposed to timezone offsets from UTC) and leap seconds as specialized issues that don't impact many of the common uses for date/time. A time library shouldn't preclude sensible implementations of these, but I don't think it needs to include them all.

It will need proper timezone information. For example if it does not include the proper information for UK daylight savings time, my Personal-Video-Recorder box, written in Haskell, will record the wrong programs in summer. Keean.
