Then the obvious thing to do is to separate an unsegmented time  
system, like TI or GPS, required by naive compute clients, from the  
UTC/mean solar time required by naive governments.  Tying the two even  
more closely together is going to make a joint solution even harder.

It is a matter of brand recognition - what do you think the lobbyists  
deal in?

And are you convinced that it would be better for us if the lawmakers  
did take notice of our activities?  :-)
