Yes!

Can't you just put hours there? e.g. "0:00, 12:00, 0:00, 12:00, ..."
leaving it up to the user to interpret that as "7/11, 0:00 ; 7/11, 12:00 ;
8/11, 0:00, ..." by combining the title and x-axis?

If this solves your problem, then in first order yes, but in second order
I think 1 day is too rough for zooming into problems that existed for a
short while, probably across day-boundaries.  How about offering a choice
of: Month, Week, Day (all starting at 0:00) and Hours (starting at N:00
and running for a number of hours)?

Please send a reply to ticket 22651 when you have done this.
