Why can you not have computations with sense 1? One hundred 24-hour days =
from=20
now it will be 2002-06-23 20:17:54 EST. My watch will say 21:17, because =
I=20
will be on EDT. But EST will continue to make sense. (Especially in India=
na.)

Actually, I think I'll just make it 2002-06-24 01:17:54 Zulu, and call it=
 a=20
night.
