Dear All,
At the nit-picking level, "day" (and "hour" and "minute") are not
necessarily stable units either, because of the occasional appearance
of leap seconds. While this won't be of much concern for many users,
it can be important for precisely timed data.
Hi Tim:
My understanding is that there are some calendars that handle this
better than "standard". the java packages im looking at refers to UTC
and TAI as more accurate possibilities:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordinated_Universal_Time
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Atomic_Time
im not clear on the issues, but it seems like we could add those
calendars if needed.
