  Again, this ignores the idea that not all time
  information is locally-originated. Consider a
  system that is displaying externally-originated
  records that are time-stamped with values that
  *CAN* include leap seconds...

Let's start with one: any system using Olson DB based timezone
configurations can be configured to honor leap seconds.

However, usually they are configured to ignore them and they use NTP to
simply shift slowly using longer seconds when this happens.
