Thanks to those who confirmed the ITU text on when leap seconds can
be applied.

I've made two small edits to the Wikipedia article to correct
parts which were wrong or potentially misleading (plus a slightly
tongue-in-cheek remark in the discussion page)

However, it's a horrible article and really needs reorganization
as some of the paragraphs have suffered serious mission creep.

I don't even like the first sentence. "Intercalary" seems wrong
to me as a leap second is part of the day it is applied to, not
between days. I thought about changing it but decided I might
be being a bit blinkered in my definition of "intercalary".
Thoughts?

Ed.
