Hi.  Any link to the paper?

And my choice is not about what I like or what I don't like, it's about 
external dependencies.  I am creating Recurrence rules in Squeak (very hairy 
specification) and I want to minimize external dependencies.  I didn't want 
to say someone has to use some special time package (no matter how good it 
is) just to use my stuff.  Especially since I don't see Recurrence rules 
needing that extra functionality (e.g. timezones).
