However, that same research shows that the time between midnight and 1am are denoted using 00:xx format; consider “Zero Dark Thirty” = 30 minutes past midnight or 00:30. In fact, I was unable to find any standardized uses of the 24:xx format for describing times between the top-of-midnight & 1am; all of the refs I found used 00:xx.</p>

<p dir="auto">See below for the standardised use (which is probably not in ‘standard’ use of course — <a href="https://xkcd.com/2562" style="color: #3983C4;">https://xkcd.com/2562</a> )</p>

<p dir="auto">It’s only a bug if Benny didn’t want this to happen, however it is not correct according to standard:</p>
<pre style="margin-left: 15px; margin-right: 15px; padding: 5px; background-color: #F7F7F7; border-radius: 5px 5px 5px 5px; overflow-x: auto; max-width: 90vw;"><code style="margin: 0; border-radius: 3px; background-color: #F7F7F7; padding: 0px;">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_8601
As of ISO 8601-1:2019 midnight may only be referred to as "00:00", corresponding to the beginning of a calendar day.
Earlier versions of the standard allowed "24:00" corresponding to the end of a day, but this is explicitly disallowed by the 2019 revision.
