And how is UTC not a "paperclock" as well? UTC is only known after the  
fact, when the BIPM publishes its analysis of comparisons between  
various renditions of UTC.

So your actual point may be that there are no suitable renditions of  
TAI. But wasn't that ITU's whole idea in the first pace? To make  
available renditions of a time scale that has no leap seconds?
