Well, holee-shit, TIL... Because with my four years of high school French, and having never given it a lot of thought, I always assumed that because $STANDARDS_BODY was French (I assumed, to make theory plausible), then UTC stood for <said with heavy French accent> "Universale Time Coordinatier" or something (and my sincere apologies to our French-speaking HN users). Had my brain actually engaged what I learned in French class, that of course would be incredibly wrong, starting with "what the hell is that adjective doing at the beginning of the phrase?"
