I installed the attached to try to document this. This version of the 
commentary avoids the neologism "24:59". Anyway, thanks for bringing up 
this point of confusion; this one is a new one for me.

I suppose a similar thing could occur at the *start* of a day. That is, 
on Saturday at 23:59..., instead of jumping back to Saturday at 23:00, 
the clock could jump "back" to Sunday at 23:00, then continue on through 
Sunday at 00:00, 01:00, ..., 23:00, and finally repeat the hour of 
Sunday at 23:00. Although this seems even less likely than what Spain 
did in 1918, one never knows what politicians will do....
