When you have no zero, then noon is both the end of the morning and the
beginning of the afternoon and midnight is the end of the previous day
and the beginning of the next day.
Logically, one should use zero when referring to the beginning of the
day and 24:00:00 as the ending of the day - only by doing this are time
span calculations possible.
