I find it hard to believe that this is really a prevalent notation. We ar
eusing the current one for 10+ years and nobody else complaint. Yes schools
have to teach it (just like they teach the metric system in the US and still
nobody uses it). And Parliament is always special with traditions. The am/pm
format should not be defined if at any point somebody used it. It's current
every-day use that counts.
Even if the format were in common use, the proposed format is obviously wrong.
Both examples you cite are using a dot instead of a colon to separate the hours
and minutes.
