Line 37:
:::* the current spec requires that 0 seconds be displayed as an empty string.
:::* fractional seconds would not conflict at all with the current spec (though might require some implementations change)
:::* years (and centuries) might be something of a problem because the relation between weeks and years is not simple. But it would be doable if the task defined a year as (for example) 52.1786 weeks. The numbers would be a bit nonsensical, but the other option would be be that you have to specify the starting second. And if you are going to do that you might as well do months as well (but this of course changes the task into something very different - see also [[Talk:Holidays_related_to_Easter]] and [[Talk:Last_Friday_of_each_month]] for some of the issues which might be relevant for that kind of a task
:::* Negative seconds might also change the task, if you wanted to go there. --[[User:Rdm|Rdm]] ([[User talk:Rdm|talk]]) 19:35, 20 June 2015 (UTC)
