What are the actual requirements in the regulations?

If you can set up everything to smear reliably then in principle (with
custom tzcode etc.) it should be possible to convert accurately between
smeared time_t and broken-down UTC with leap seconds. You'll get a bunch
of half-second errors from userland code that does its own time
conversions, though...
