I would go as far as using only seconds/picoseconds because days might vary in length between different calendars.

This non-algorithmicality is IMO the > main issue we're dealing with here. It depends on the format in which you store the event. If you store it in local time you are probably interested in the local time of the day, and if the lookup tables change in between only the DST changes, not the apparent time. If you store the time as GMT or something like that the time would indeed change but you were interested in the global time of the event then so it should be expected.

This is not unlike adding and substracting months. Either you add certain number of smaller units (24h for day, 30days for month) and expect more precise duration or you add the larger unit and expect the same time except for the one part you have changed. I would find adding a day and getting a different time of the day quite confusing. > The last issue involved with this is consistency. > So the rationale for my solution of requiring explicit DST normalization > was, that if you do want DST normalization, then you're aware of the > implications (1h representation shift).

This gives only two options that might be suboptimal for some uses. I was trying to point out that more flexibility in this area might improve the general usefulness of this library. Thanks Michal
