In my view, the term 'percentime' clearly represents a decimal scale; and does not create a new scalar quantity of a 'second'.
Regardless of one's views on the development or use of decimal scales of time, the restriction of the term 'second' to the SI scale and to a traditional 24-60-60 scale of time will support the reinforcement of principles by which the different scales are defined.
In practice, there are other methods for conveying or representing decimal scale times other than by the names of other established standard units.
Usage of terms is important for those who use SI as well as those who use decimal scales of time. I am just saying that term usage should be reconsidered.
Hope that this can be of help.
