> ODATA-215 was originally intended to address the apparent overlap between hour, minute, and second functions for datetimeoffset and duration datatypes, and did so by replacing the not-terribly-useful hour/minute/second functions for duration with a totalseconds function.
> Along the way we also noted that we had no way to represent fractional seconds, and so we changed the return type of the second function for datetimeoffset to return a decimal.
> Upon further reflection, I think this is inconsistent; the second portion is a separate portion from fractional seconds, just as day is separate from hour is separate from minute is separate from second. I would instead like to keep second() an integer, and introduce a fractionalsecond function that returns the fractional seconds as a decimal value <1.
> This is more consistent, for example, with how SQL and many programming languages handle parts of datetime functions.
