I prefer to tack the fractional portion onto the date.

2011-09-09.9275

It's called "ISO 8601". Personally, I use the period to demarcate all differences when writing somewhere for myself: 2011.09.10.02.13.21

So instead of (roughly) 24 time zones there would be 100? Maybe you divide by four and have 25 to match current boundaries.

Real men use unix timestamps.
