Comment (by davidsarah):

 Replying to [comment:1 warner]:
 > What would work better.. maybe a 2-decimal abbreviation (like the one
 used in {{{abbreviate_space}}})? It might read a bit oddly to see "3.54
 minutes", but the alternatives are equally odd ("212 seconds" or "3
 minutes 32 seconds" or "3m32s").

 I don't find "212 seconds" odd.

 > (note that the transition thresholds in {{{abbreviate_time}}} are not at
 the unit boundaries: it reports seconds for anything below *2* minutes,
 and minutes for anything below 3 hours. But I still see your point about
 it being too coarse)

 Right; it allows up to a 20% proportional error (2.5 minutes rounded to 2
 minutes is the worst case).
