You also need to specify, or let the user specify, the order of arithmetic. I.e. adding a day and then a second is different from doing it the other way around.
Only when leap seconds are involved. A month and a day would be a better example.
Duration arithmetic is not commutative? Can you give some examples please, because I'm not able to imagine any.
April 30th + 1 month + 1 day = May 30th + 1 day = May 31st
April 30th + 1 day + 1 month = May 1st + 1 month = June 1st
