February 29th does not start and end all over the world at the same
time. Some time zones will get the leap during the 28th, others in March
the 1st.

Another suggestion in the same vain: standardize all the time zones of
the world to two specific dates for starting and ending DST (if they use 
it). Add leap seconds at one of those dates only.
