Morris, No problem. I think I sort of disagree on a philosophical basis- I mean, what's the point of having a new time system with more intrinsic precision if you're then going to reduce it to the precision of the OLD system? But, hey, it's your site... and it does make it more reasonable to use all the digits in a real-time display, since it's not really (in Javascript, at least) going to refresh every .06666 seconds... I had expected that you'd mask off the NET "seconds" for clock, just use degrees and "minutes".
This is literally a 30-second change with maybe a 5-minute "unit test", and since this is just a prototype there's no real overhead. I should have time to do this in the next few hours (believe me, neither of us wants to risk my doing it before coffee). I'll let you know here. T.
