"Either this paragraph is re-written so it makes sense within EI, or removed - provided that the reference to WS-Calendar is left (line 533).  As it is it attemps to distill the technical aspects os WS-Calendar instead of using simpler language, which adds to value to section that is simply stating that EI will use WS-Calendar.  Even the current definition of Gluon (WS-Calendar 1.0) is difficult to understand without the WS-Calendar specification contenxt: ""A Calendar Gluon is essentially the Interval component profiled down to minimal elements for which inheritance rules are then defined for the sequence.""

Instead the paragraph could use language as follows:
WS-Calendar allows for ways to express a related group of time intervals as a sequence.  However, it additionally allows for a way to abstract certain information of related intervals to avoid repetition of such information in every interval of the sequence.  Such abstraction is called a WS-Calendar gluon, and it can be related to a group of intervals in a sequence to represent the same information present in intervals, but applicable to all intervals in a sequence.  Gluons can represent interval information such as ""start time"" and ""duration"" that would stay constant over time inside all the intervals in the sequence related to a Gluon."
