Re: Is UCLA forcing the hand?
I seem to remember once stumbling on a section of the timezone info where someone had gone to great lengths to define "london time" and "GMT" to take account of the various different positions of the Greenwich meridian in the 1700s and 1800s (it moved several times by upto a few metres each time as the methods for definiting it was refined by successive Astronomer Royals) and then preceded by the time as defined by a sundial somewhere which was considered to be the reference before then.
N.b. this sort of change "by dictat" seems to be exactly the sort of thing that will spin off an activity to do it in the way it ought to have been done. Sounds like its time to fork time!
