I don't know all time formats. It's quite possible some standards have made it up as they went along, and just blew that play. When talking about seconds from an epoch, it seems to me that if the second occurred it should be counted, but I would suspect there already is a standard there as well, and we should follow it. What would Linux do? ;-) Eliot
