Thanks for the heads-up. There seems to be no acknowledgment in the 
White House press release of a similar effort launched by the European 
Space Agency last year, and the Guardian missed the boat on reporting on 
whether there are now two competing efforts to specify time on the Moon. 
I hope we are not going back to the bad old days, when France's prime 
meridian differed from Germany's.

Anyway, for now I installed the attached proposed patch. If anyone knows 
about efforts to coordinate European and American timescales on the 
Moon, please let us know.
