decimalTime

decimalTime is a straightforward implementation of how to write and display a date and time in decimal notation, either worldwide or local based on legacy timezones. Years are counted from the Unix Epoch (Jan. 1st, 1970 in legacy time), time is counted by number of days (counting from zero) elapsed during the year, plus the fragment of day already elapsed up to five decimal digits (deciday, centiday, milliday, decimilliday, centimilliday). As of yet, decimal time has been only implemented for terrestrial dates, hence the T suffix after the year. Worldwide time is indicated by an M suffix, while local timezones use a L prefix followed by the amount of offset that must be added or substracted in decimal time to reach legacy UTC.

Sample worldwide date: 43T364.84167M

Sample local date for UTC-6: 43T364.59167L+0.25
