While some may argue that LMT is a stupid concept, the reality is that the database format requires it, and it has been widely relied upon by consumers of the data. As such, LMT should be accurate, or technically at least accurate for each zone that differs beyond 1970 and for each at least one zone per ISO-defined region.
Presumably meaning "accurate for some particular location in each zone...", as a sufficiently-wide zone contains locations whose LMT would differ by a second or more.
Exactly. See my LMT replacement proposal thread: http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/tz/2014-August/021346.html Stephen
