In fairness, I should add at this point that I've not read the POSIX
standards at all; reading various postings on various lists has
given me the impression that ado (implementor of the primary
localtime() / zoneinfo implementation on Unix systems today) and
Dave Mills (he's NTP) have come to this conclusion.

However, Greg Woods on the postfix list is absolutely adamant that
all existing implementations are plughed, but that POSIX actually
mandates the exact behavior we've been wanting --- Unix clock
maintains a fixed relationship with TAI.
