The other part being the delta between times. From one epoc to another, you just need to add an appropriate number of seconds for adjustment of the time base. If leap seconds figure into it, you need to include that in your adjustment of epoc and also of any calculations between two times. The standard doesn't say anything about epoc but, more importantly in this case, it doesn't say anything about deltas between times. That's the particular problem I'm sorting out at the moment.
