We have discussed scenarios in which a product is offered to market at 9:00, but the date is unspecified. Icalendar offers either a “Date” or a “DateTime” We have a somewhat muddled discussion of “mixed inheritance” of date times. All of this was written before we have vavailability. I propose that Something that is offered only next Tuesday, or at 9:00 for the next 6 weeks be specified as a completely un-anchored sequence filtered through a vavailability object. THis simplifies inheritance and presents a cleaner model I believe. It also allows a product to be offered at 9:00 or at 3:00.
