When you say "quarter past eight", seconds are not important.
But when you express a measure, the concept of error is important. Unless
explicitly expressed, the error in a measure is "plus or minus" a given
symmetric range.

I just think that the current behaviour was not a bug, but was
deliberately intended. Moreover, in my opinion, it is correct. A good
compromise can be to mention it on the man page, so that surprised users
can find it explained.
The command:
flite_time $(date +%H:%M)
will say "exactly" during both the full minute before and the full minute
after the "exact" time.

Marco
