Working with purely numeric values is much easier to deal with in a
portable, timezone- and localization-independent way, not only for
internal handling but also if you're planning to interface with
external applications.

James is planning to record timestamps for takeoff and touchdown. Now,
just think of a tool to track a pilot's flying time ....  just one
application that comes into my mind, don't know if James is aiming at
such a use.

Best regards,
        Martin.
