The engineering solution to this problem isn't to add more parity bits to deal with the political changes, it's to use TAI, and make sure that TAI is well run and consistent.

We will need to encode planetary time origins, and should think about the equivalent, but I don't think that the solution to that will happen until after we need it to happen.
