Yeah, for some of my events I don't know the time. I have been using noon, but I
think you're right -- it should default to 12:00 AM. However, if time is not
specified and it defaults to midnight, I don't think it should display that
time.
That way users don't interpret the time as being significant. It's really just
there
to keep the database in order.

My confusion – why doesn't living stories use the WordPress time function?

You mean, why don't we just use the timestamp of the post?
The primary reason is that we want you to be able to specify an _event_ time
that is
different from the time you post the event. For example, you may post about a
congressional hearing after it occurs, but set the event time to be when it
started.
You may even want to post about it _before_ it occurs, as a heads up to your
readers,
and the extra date/time field allows you to do this.

Ah! Thank you! That does make sense. Now that my idiot self understands the
reasoning, it seems to me
that the field ought to default to the published (wordpress timestamp) time.
That way, it can remain a
require field.
It also seems like the labeling on the field was confusing, I'm commuting and
not able to look at it right
now, so I can't remember the exact title, just that I was confused.
Perhaps changing the wording to something like: "optional: specify an event
time."
cheers
