It ought to be straightforward, yes, since in numeric sequences 00:00 
clearly comes before other possible time values, and therefore is not 
nearly as confusing as, say, 12:00 (is noon AM and midnight PM, or is it 
the other way around?). However, it is definitely possible to overthink 
things, and as this conversation demonstrates, of all the faults of 
which our community is capable, overthinking things is one of the 
easiest for us to fall into.
