TAI requires a leap-second table.
Nonsense.
It is true that CONVERTING between civil times and numeric TAI64 times requires knowledge of leap seconds, the calendar, time zones, etc.
Oops ... you're right ... I did not explicitly state the "conversion" my message was referring to within that sentence. I hope that didn't confuse too many list members. Thanks for the correction.
