Sorry to beat a dead horse here, but from what you are saying and the
documentation I've read, does that mean that the only real difference is
UTC is more accurate in its precision for a timestamp, such as if I want
to know the time right now it might be slightly more accurate to the
"official" time?
In other words, if I just want a representation for May 5, 2007 at 12:00
pm (or any other future time), are GMT and UTC identical and just as
good as each other? (i.e. I don't care if it reports this exact moment
in time as 1 microsecond off of whatever the atomic clock says, I just
want a reliable way of representing various future points in time via
timestamps that aren't affected by daylight saving).
Thanks.
