The problem is that it has been stated several times on this thread that there will be no leap second table, nor a way to use one. If that's not correct, then there is no problem.
I think you've misunderstood. The plan was never to get rid of TAI altogether; the discussion has been about whether getCurrentTime should return TAI or something UTC-based. In case you missed it, here's Ashley's latest proposal, which includes full support for TAI and leap second tables: http://www.haskell.org//pipermail/libraries/2005-February/003158.html Cheers, Simon
