Some deeply silly questions Wikipedia doesn't answer:

- Do I understand that Swatch Internet Time does not specify *dates*, only *times of day*? That is, you could not specify an absolute datetime using Swatch Internet Time alone, you also have to pick a calendar system?

- Swatch Internet Time is defined relative to UTC, *not* TAI, correct? (WP says yes but has iffy sourcing.)

- What is the intellectual property status of Swatch Internet Time? Presumably "Swatch" is trademarked. Is ".beats"?
