[LEAPSECS] the presidential pen hath writ

So when these various governments update their laws to
specify UTC rather than GMT as the basis of civil time, I
assume this is also an indirect acceptance of HH:23:60
local time as a now legal time-stamp?

Related to that - does anyone have an original copy of an
email header with xx:23:60 in it? Or do all email handling
systems use posix-like systems that gloss over UTC leap
seconds in a user-friendly fashion?
