Stupid sed tricks to be compliant both with extended ISO-8601 and with the "end of any month" requirement of TF.460:

% dig +short leapsecond.dotat.at aaaa | sed -e 's/:\(.\):/:0\1:/' -e 's/::/T/' -e 's/:/-/' -e 's/:/-/' -e 's/$/Z/' | sort

One supposes that the two zeroed IPV6 fields might be used to convey additional information if you don't want to worry about providing a date/time delimiter.

Presumably a negative leap would be denoted ending :58?
