Here's my patch for the above.
I've also reworded the section on Internet time
slightly, based on information from
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swatch_Internet_Time.
I've removed the bit about 'Biel Mean Time' since
according to that page it's midleading. It also
doesn't mean very much to the average user. (Internet
time itself doesn't mean much to the average user
either... but I hope this explanation is more
informative.)
