 Replying to [comment:3 andysem]:

 > As for duration default format change, this is a breaking change.
 Although it has a valid point, I'm not sure the change is justified
 enough. This has to be discussed on the ML.

 It seems that no one cares about this change, except for Rutger ter Borg
 (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2009/06/153112.php) who says the
 current behavior is broken.  The only person except you and me who also
 replied on the thread was Stewart, Robert but he was talking about
 unrelated things like error handling for IO streams in general
 (http://lists.boost.org/Archives/boost/2009/06/152121.php).

 Do you think the fix can be applied now?
