Interesting; though I'm not sure what advantage that [using Planck's Constant] would have.

I've heard that ISO 8601 [representing time, intervals, periods, etc] is going to be updated this year. Since this is something that my current project will need, albeit tangentially, I'm planning on making an implementation of it (though possibly augmented w/ scheduling).
