So here's my proposal for least convenient way of specifying a datetime:

- Japanese imperial year (eg Reiwa 8)
- Month and day in French Revolutionary calendar (eg Messidor 27)
- Time of day as Swatch .Beats (eg @760 )

Antifeatures of this system include:

- Can't predict future years "offline" (you need the realtime status of the Japanese royal family)
- Poor software support
- Intellectual property encumbrance (purely gratuitous because the First Republic had its own decimal time system)
