While there is a 24:00:00, there is certainly *no* 24:00:00.000000000001. That would be 00:00:00.000000000001 instead.
Says who? Didn't we just burn a lot of calories discussing whether UTC was a real number or a continuous function? Time does not end at midnight, rather, a time without a date or a date without a time are incomplete. Are we to believe that there is something evil about expressing negative time values, too? Just depends on the epoch. Put it in angle notation. 12 hours UT = 180 degrees = pi radians, but also = -180 degrees or -pi radians. So what? Would think the usual tactics apply: interpret rules as loosely as possible on input and as strictly as possible on output. Rob
