Known typo.

Agreed, we could be more explicit.  A 7-property date/time value cannot have
a minute property whose value is 24; the lexical representation
'2006-02-19T24:00:00'
is mapped to (2006,2,20,0,0,0,absent).  (The 7th property, with value absent,
is
the time zone.)

> 24:00:00 (and how this interacts with timezones).

See above for equal/identical.  For better or for worse, 24:00:00 is 00:00:00
and
hence preceeds all other untimezoned times (or, with timezone attached, all
other
times in that timezone).  That said, the values interact WRT equality the same
as
other values.  Compute the two values for timeOnTimeline and compare the
resulting
numbers.
