I voted for noon being 12a.m. and midnight being 12p.m. - but that's partly because, with the hours I work (flexitime in a charity office), noon is only two hours after I've started, and therefore is still morning, so a.m. makes more sense. Even if it's not logical.
The way that I see it: 1159 = 11:59am 1200 = 12am, aka noon 1201 = 12:01pm 2359 = 11:59pm 2400 = 12pm, aka midnight 0001 = 12:01am
It is the 12th hour post meridian - after noon.
Then again, when it matters, I have a tendency to use the four-digit twenty-four hour clock, for this very reason. Or say "Noon".
