Agreed, but you don't do boundary checking and your version is less
friendly for non-programmers.
You are more than welcome to write a slick version in C.
It's the idea that counts :)

date -s "`lynx -dump -head http://www.kernel.org|awk -F': ' '/Date: /
{print $2}'`"
to make it even shorter

I suppose if you ran that every minute you may not have any jumps, but the
feature of smooth adjustment is good for less frequent polling.
Although, wouldn't an HTTP extension to the rdate code be effective?

The C version of htpd is doing smooth adjustments (since version 0.3.4) in
stead of time steps, simular to ntpd.

HTP (atleast the C version) does basic statistical analysis to use
multiple sources to create a more accurate time.
