If you add a 'day' to a timestamp, it should be identical to adding 24 hours. Any other interpretation leads to all sorts of wierd ambiguities. For example, what is '2am April 3rd 2004 US/Eastern + 1 day'? 2am on April 4th 2004 didn't exist in that timezone because the clocks were put forward and that hour skipped. If you round up to the nearest existant time, you then have the issue that '2am April 3rd + 1 day == 3am Aril 3rd + 1 day'.
