I've talked about this with lots of people over the last 10 years or so. Most people I know (non-programmers) look at me like I'm crazy when I suggest that this is a good idea. I don't think that most regular people see a benefit to this, and since there is cost associated with change, the idea is unpopular. The thing that strikes me most about this proposal is that they are looking for a top-down solution. We already have UTC, it doesn't need to be invented or implemented, just adopted. Maybe a bottom-up approach will have more success? If you look at a country like the US that still doesn't use metric, it's hard to imagine having world governments adopting a change like this. I guess there is always hope though.
