Rob,

A problem is what defines your "stationary" (what bandwidth)
and what defines "mean" (what averaging time). Or, another
way to put it, why in your opinion, are leap seconds OK but
leap tenth-seconds, or leap minutes, or leap hours not OK?
Each of these preserve, to one degree or another, the notion
of stationary wrt solar time.
