I absolutely agree that it's critical from the end user's
perspective, but my (perhaps naive) point is that this
is really just a string.

This is based on my desire to reduce everything to
a simple time-series regardless of whether it is a
series of active measurements, passive measurements
or the EUR/USD exchange rate.  (Actually, I'd rather not
see that last one...  :-)

best,
