/**
- * A Timestamp represents a point in time independent of any time zone
- * or calendar, represented as seconds and fractions of seconds at
- * nanosecond resolution in UTC Epoch time. It is encoded using the
- * Proleptic Gregorian Calendar which extends the Gregorian calendar
- * backwards to year one. It is encoded assuming all minutes are 60
- * seconds long, i.e. leap seconds are "smeared" so that no leap second
- * table is needed for interpretation. Range is from
- * 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z.
- * By restricting to that range, we ensure that we can convert to
- * and from RFC 3339 date strings.

+ * A Timestamp represents a point in time independent of any time zone or local
+ * calendar, encoded as a count of seconds and fractions of seconds at
+ * nanosecond resolution. The count is relative to an epoch at UTC midnight on
+ * January 1, 1970, in the proleptic Gregorian calendar which extends the
+ * Gregorian calendar backwards to year one.
+ *
+ * All minutes are 60 seconds long. Leap seconds are "smeared" so that no leap
+ * second table is needed for interpretation, using a [24-hour linear
+ * smear](https://developers.google.com/time/smear).
+ *
+ * The range is from 0001-01-01T00:00:00Z to 9999-12-31T23:59:59.999999999Z. By
