daniel added a comment. I find it odd to base the numbering on an artificially fixed limit like 16. I also find it odd that the "roughest" precision has the lowest value. Makes sense if you interpret it as "significant number of digits", but that only works with a fixed with.
So I proposed to reverse the order: the smallest ID should refer to seconds, then minutes, and so on - with the scale being open end. Not sure what the code for that should look like, though. A very simple alternative: give the precision as a float (or decimal), in years. Anything smaller than that number, in years, is insignificant. The values for "hour" etc will not be pretty, but they would have meaning, and arithmetics would work nicely.
