I guess that sounds semi-reasonable.  At least I haven't thought of 
anything that seems better if we want to suggest all these times as 
possibilities.

Maybe these non-canonical dates ought to be expressed like 01.01!Sunrise. 

(And what about leap day?  That's clearly an apocryphal date.  Sorry, it 
was too obvious to pass up.)

Considering that Sunrise is the median point of the AM span and Sunset is 
the median point of the PM span, maybe we should just merge these into a 
more general "Morning" & "Evening" and not specify whether it indicates 
point or span.  If you need to be accurate, use a time.
