Alexander Belopolsky added the comment:

Personally, I don't rounding is that useful.  My working assumption is that 
users will select say timespec='millisecond' only when they know that their 
time source produces datetime instances with millisecond precision and they 
don't want to kill more trees by printing redundant 0's.

MAL's objection this this line of arguments was that some time sources have odd 
resolution (he reported MS SQL's use of 333 ms) and a user may want to have a 
perfect round-tripping when using a sub-usec timespec and such an odd time 
source or destination.
