Additional French Time Patterns ?

[Bérenger Enselme]

Hello,

FWIW, that is not quite what the government of Canada recommends:
http://www.bt-tb.tpsgc-pwgsc.gc.ca/btb.php?lang=fra&cont=1415

What the document says is that in technical settings, such as time
tables, "15:10" is the preferred format, whereas it should be written
"15 h 10" elsewhere (in texts for example).

Cheers,
Béranger
