(Greenwich Mean Time = GMT = UTC)

No, read <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UTC>.

You failed to quote the part that states there are several different
definitions of Universal Time.

I missed seeing that before.

There is only one current and correct definition of UT, whatever USNO
has to say on the subject.

UT0 is defined, and may match UT, I forget; UT1, UT2 and UTC are also
defined.

Once more, Pooh, you are stupidly answering an old article in respect of
a point which is already adequately covered in subsequent discussion.

While that wiki article may well be right, I doubt whether you are truly
qualified to judge its reliability; it would be far better to cite an
authoritative professionally-relevant institution - NPL, NIST, BIH,
USNO, NRC, or suchlike. Or, I suppose, PTB.

I do know that de.wiki has an article which links to a page of mine, but
the article is in error on a point which my page both explains and
demonstrates. When I last looked, the corresponding en.wiki page said
very little, omitting the point in question. Amateur sources should not
be relied on for technical material (well, that's true for professional
sources too; but they are usually better).

You should have noted, too, that in Javascript UTC and GMT are treated
as synonymous, and that Javascript time is *not* UTC.

I think this too falls under 'deceptive wording'.

defined.

I was referring to the existence of UT0, UT1, UT2 and others, rather
than just UT. Perhaps using the word 'variations' in place of 'different
definitions' would have been clearer.
