Time for Earth Time – James Gleick (around.com)

From 2016 (World War I ended 100 years ago in the article). Interesting and maybe not a bad idea but I think unlikely anytime soon.

Vaguely related. I bought a book about clock repair a while back from the early 1900s. It had a section and table about the lengths for pendulums for different spots on the Earth to account for differences in gravity. Is there anything similar on Earth about time dilation to account for General Relativity?
