[David L. Mills]

Brian,

Correct the equation and minor text on page 9: This is through Section 
6. More to follow.

A timestamp T(t) represents either the UTC date or time offset from
   UTC at running time t.  Which meaning is intended should be clear
   from the context.  Let T(t) be the time offset, R(t) the frequency
   offset, D(t) the ageing rate (first derivative of R(t) with respect
   to t).  Then, if T(t_0) is the UTC time offset determined at t = t_0,
   the UTC time offset at time t is

   T(t) = T(t_0) + R(t_0)(t-t_0) + 1/2 * D(t_0)(t-t_0)^2 + e,

   where e is a stochastic error term discussed later in this document.
