NEW:
The integer value is the number of seconds, ignoring leap seconds, after midnight UTC, January 1, 1970.
I think Russ' intention for this was that you should be able to copy the Unix time() into it without any further thinking (except wondering whether the clock is accurate) - "ignoring leap seconds" rather obviously doesn't say the same thing to everyone....
Suggestions for rewording? Russ?
I think you want to go back to the old wording. If you need a reference to insert, see RFC 1305, Appendix E, sections 7 & 8.
