[LEAPSECS] leap seconds in POSIX

Does anybody know of a good writeup of how to fix POSIX to know about leap 
seconds and/or why POSIX hasn't done anything about it yet?

I assume the basic idea would be something like switch the kernel to use TAI 
rather than UTC and implement conversion in some library routines.


There is a discussion on the IETF ntp list with typical S/N for this topic.
