Couldn't the opposite argument be made: The majority of users don't care a hoot about time (ref: flashing 12:00 everywhere) and therefore the scientists and engineers who have to care, are free to implement any working solution ? After all, with the cavalier attitude politicians have to time, (ref timezone changes with short notice, century old laws etc), I can't see any good coming out of involving them. In other words: WP7A may not be the best place, but it is probably as good as any.
