Proposed use of DNS to Disseminate Leap Second Information

A while ago I mentioned in this list an idea for using the
Internet Domain Name System to disseminate leap second
information. Since then I have:

a) thought of a cleaner and easier to use implementation
   than the one mentioned then and

b) come across a precedent for such an "abuse" of the
   DNS.

The last few day's correspondence have reminded me to
finish writing it up. It's at:
