%s.%N would better achieve that goal, no? It has one base, not three.
(Plus, it already works. :-)
I retract my suggestion for %J. Reading through ISO-8601, I see that
the standard specifies the one-based format %Y-%j.
I do think %i is useful though. For example, when drawing the hour
hand of an analog clock the correct angle is...
360 degrees * %i / (24*60*60).
Cheers,
Shaun
