[LEAPSECS] Longer horizon

[Richard B. Langley]

Peter:
Is my little blurb on GMT and the BBC (in http://gauss.gge.unb.ca/GMT.UT.and.the.RGO.html) 
  still more or less correct? Anything I should add/change? There are  
a few statements in the article that I would like to tighten up and I  
might as well get them all done at the same time.
