Right, which is exactly why we can't accept the spec's restriction that
the hour field be limited to 0-23. People may legitimately want to add
48 hours to a timestamp, and *not* have that mean the same as adding
"2 days". Besides, we would have a backwards-compatibility problem if
we tried to forbid it, since as you note we've always accepted such input.
