Yeah, I think it should be. I had been thinking of treating the month
and day component as having separate time contributions, but it makes
more sense to think of month as a collection of days first, integral
or no, and then cascade down the fractional portion of the combined
days component to time. I.e., 9.99 mon is 9 mon 29.7 days, rather
than 9 mon 29 days 60480 sec.
