Trying to clarify clock vs duration time
Having seen a lot of bugs related to LibreOffice’s date and time arithmetic I
think many of them have a common cause: Major defects in the document that
specifies how this feature should work. According to my analysis it is not
possible to implement this specification and there is no easy fix. Therefore I
tried describe how various properties of the date and time arithmetic depend on
each other, and explain an idea that should allow to implement a date and time
arithmetic that reliably gets simple calculations right.</pre>
