-        Dates that contain a daylight savings time adjustment are not 24
-        hours, but typically 23 or 25 hours. This change allows numeric days
-        (not fixed 24-hour periods) to be added to dates which include
-        a daylight savings time adjustment period. Therefore, while in 
-        previous releases <literal>1 day</> and <literal>24 hours</> were 
-        interchangeable interval values, in this release they are treated 
-        differently, e.g.
+        Days that contain a daylight saving time adjustment are not 24
+        hours long, but typically 23 or 25 hours.  This change creates a
+        conceptual distinction between intervals of <quote>so many days</>
+        and intervals of <quote>so many hours</>.  Adding
+        <literal>1 day</> to a timestamp now gives the same local time on
+        the next day even if a daylight saving time adjustment occurs
+        between, whereas adding <literal>24 hours</> will give a different
+        local time when this happens.  For example, under US DST rules:
