2. Doing this without specifying a maximum precision will mean the substantial breakage I speak of in 1) will happen every time the precision is increased. What sort of breakage do you see? Is the problem that different downstream users will compare calculations and disagree about the exact results because they use differing precisions? But we already have that problem, as at least one downstream user already discards sub-minute information, namely Kerry Shetline's recently-discussed tzdata compressor.
