yes... 12am and 00:00am and 00:00 (24 hour mode) are all the same...

it isn't... it never has been, really... i've been using that form for over 50 
years with no problems... granted, it doesn't work well with mod12 too well but 
then noon would be 00:00pm so there has to be some adjustment in code for the 
human aspect of rendering... it isn't that complicated... i was telling the time 
correctly by the time i was 3 or 4 and i know that my oldest granddaughter was 
doing so by 3 because i had a hand in her early education... it wasn't until i 
was older that i learned military 24 hour nomenclature... then later after that 
was the 100 minute hour they also use(d?)...
