Because GMT is roughly UT1 while UTC is atomic clock time, and without leap seconds the two drift apart -- right?
To my understanding that is the reason that legal GMT and UTC did already diverge. I was referring to "GMT is roughly UT1 while UTC is atomic clock time".
For the leap second http://tf.nist.gov/pubs/bulletin/leapsecond.htm " Its purpose is to keep the UTC time scale within ±0.9 s of the UT1 astronomical time scale" -- Tobias Conradi Rheinsberger Str. 18 10115 Berlin Germany http://tobiasconradi.com
