Good work, Tony. I was too lazy to look up all of the references. With respect to the original list of definitions: IMO they are correct -- because they are definitions! That a minute is 60 SI seconds except when there are 61 applies to some other kind of minute than an "SI Minute." I am not a relativist, but the comment that alluded to everything being associated with a reference frame is on the mark. I believe that the SI second is defined at sea level in an Earth Fixed reference frame. So, that part is important -- for those who work at that level. And those are the ones we are looking out for.
