[LEAPSECS] RFC6013

[Poul-Henning Kamp]

Btw, forgot to mention here that RFC6013
			      BinaryTime:
      An Alternate Format for Representing Date and Time in ASN.1

Adopts/gold-plates the POSIX timestamp:

  The syntax for BinaryTime is:

      BinaryTime ::= INTEGER (0..MAX)

   The integer value is the number of seconds, excluding leap seconds,
   after midnight UTC, January 1, 1970.  This representation of time is
   sometimes called "UNIX time" [POSIX].  This time format cannot
   represent time values prior to January 1, 1970.  The latest UTC time
   value that can be represented by a four-octet integer value is
   03:14:07 on January 19, 2038, which is represented by the hexadecimal
   value 7FFFFFFF.  Time values beyond 03:14:07 on January 19, 2038, are
   represented by integer values that are longer than four octets, and a
   five-octet integer value is sufficient to represent dates covering
   the next seventeen millennia.
