The integer value is the number of seconds, ignoring leap

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.
