I agree. :)
OK, so off the top of my head, the delta_t in earth_#_predict.bpc is
going to be about 3 seconds too small, moving the eclipse center line
about a kilometer west at 45N. That's too small to see in what I'm
working on at the moment, so I'm going to stop worrying about it. It's
still a lot better than IAU_EARTH.

If that were to happen, I'd definitely use it.
Thanks for your help!
