If I understood things correctly, the idea is to have a time distribution
system designed for the moon. The whole language is kind of weird and
points at creating a new time scale instead, though. But LTC shall
be linked to UTC and thus run at the same rate. I guess the "off by 58.7µs"
is just someone incorrectly stating the difference in relativistic shifts
between a clock running on earth and on the moon.
