--- Comment #10 from jarko at sortsk.pl ---
I always wonder, why people complicate simple things, e.g. using floating point
arithmetic for values, which are natural by default. This is simply  "breaking"
good data on your own. But even so, why on earth multiply beings, instead
follow Ockham's razor?
In the considered topic in my opinion there is no need to maintain two time
formats, one for duration, and the other for time spot - which easy leads to
confuse them and make a risk of "improper use". Not saying about compatibility
across spreadsheets. Just to simply assume that when there is simple, single
date value in cell we compute it traditionally, i.e. like (let it be) time
fraction, but when some kind of performing action takes place (subtracting,
adding, multiplying, etc.) - rounding the result in the [HH]:MM flavor. All
this with single format "HH:MM:SS".
