Y2K, RFC 2459, . . .



Reading, w/out having kept up to date w/ISO issues . . . 
I've have been watching for, and not seeing comments addressing the 
requirement of our calendar to add an extra Leap Day after the year 2000.

As I recall, the calendar we have was designed to best keep accurate with the 
sun, and requires a leap day every 4 yrs.  This schedule, also, calls for and 
additional day every 1000 years.  The intent was to add it after the 
millennium.  As the calendar truly recognizes the year 2000 as the last year 
in this millennium, it seems that we were to add an additional day during the 
1st year of the next millennium, 2001.

Where is this issue being addressed?  Or, has this path been abandoned by all 
parties concerned.  (Initially, the entire Christian world . . . perhaps only 
the Catholic churches.)
