The most important aspect is that it is continuous, and the second most important is that it relates predictably to UTC. Honestly, the whole "leap second" thing... don't get me started. But, I think it would be fair to have "this thing" (what the formula describes) be its own "time zone", i.e. that it be given a proper representation everywhere that anything that uses some notion of "local time", can refer to time using that as a TZ. I'd suggest that C-DNS start using it, and parallel to that, propose the reference timeframe be adopted by whatever WG or standards body manages timezones and/or UTC. Besides, isn't it kind of backwards? Doesn't UTC actually derive its time from TAI plus/minus leap seconds? Why isn't it already available to use as a time zone? (Consults wikipedia on unix time, sees there is an IANA database. Curses POSIX.)
