(BTW, "draft-time-touch" in the subject line is incorrect!  I made it
hard for me to find your message again.)

I was thinking again...  What is the purpose of this draft?  It seems to
me (having only skimmed it) that the essence is the seven
recommendations given at the end of the Introduction.  But a lot of the
text is taken up with assessing various existing time scales in details
which aren't directly relevant to the recommendations.  If you pared
down the draft to what is needed to support the recommendations (and
possibly the task of assisting the designer to choose a good primary
time scale for an application), how much complexity would be avoided?
