Is there any practical considerations with regards to leap seconds? How does it affect anything? I suppose, for example, that the Unix epoch which counts seconds starting from January 1, 1970 would be about 22 (?) seconds out of sync with UTC, right? I think that discussions on such practical aspects needs to placed in the article. --seav 06:05, Jan 3, 2004 (UTC)
