These lists are great for getting us to consider our assumptions, bit I wish more of them had links to read up about the domain a bit more. For example, I know a reason that there may not be 86400 seconds in a non-DST day -- leap second implementations may not smooth that second out over a longer period, but instead add a literal extra second. But I want to read about that to make sure my knowledge is complete, and I'd like to read about the ones that I may not believe or agree with.
