Looks fine to me. It brings up another issue for me though....
timezones. If I use that datetime representation to represent the
start and end of a time period, and the time period spans a switch
from daylight savings time to standard time, what's the best
standard way to represent that? Depending on the time of year, I
might experience 1 hour of clock time as 2 hours of body time, or
vice versa.
