AFAIK it's rather set that 24:00 is 00:00 the next day, but 12:00 am
is "not 100% confident" as Mark says.
I don't believe this discussion will lead anywhere. The am/pm notation
was intended only for humans living outside the polar circles, which
just looking out of the window, can easily tell apart midnight from
noon. And if they must set the hour for a meeting they don't say "at 12
pm" or "at 0 pm" or whatever, but just "at noon".
Even the (underdeveloped) countries which still stick to am/pm notation,
when must give the train timetable or the airplane schedules, use the
24h notation.
Just my 2c
