[Bug 11616] UTC began at 1961-01-01T00:00Z, and there is no such thing as proleptic UTC. Therefore the Nero example is ill-defined.

--- Comment #3 from Ian 'Hixie' Hickson <ian@hixie.ch> 2011-01-24 04:27:36 UTC ---
That there's no such thing as proleptic UTC is tautological — "proleptic" means
we're extrapolating it to a time before it existed.

But I guess I can change it to refer to UT1 instead of proleptic UTC. If I do
that I'll try to make sure it's still obvious what it means.
