Speak of o'clock, and it is absolute. Speak of rise/noon/set/mid and it
is relative to a fixed local time. I believe it would work out rather
well.
Except, sunrise, sunset, and mid-day are all relative; that is, sunrise
this morning may be a few seconds later than yesterday's sunrise. The
same holds true for sunset. Throughout the year, the length of the day
changes, so mid-day is also arbitrary.
