Sure - but what I wasn't sure of was that chrony would read the system 
clock at boot... OK, it's my error, but I turned on hwclock thinking I 
needed that to get the initial time set and that chrony would be used to 
condition the RTC thereafter (as a result when I shutdown the error 
caused by hwclock is so small it's not relevant).  So the end result is 
negligible, but I just thought it worth pointing out how the idiot user 
(mis)understands the documentation as it stands...
