The Problem of Flabby partitions (Short Fuse)

Irrespective of the Inheritance problem posed last night, partitions present some issues in flabbiness. I would like to propose the following processing rules for Intervals to support the frequent exchange of Partitions. “For Intervals, a relation can be expressed solely by a reference UID. If the Related-To UID exists, the Relationship defaults to “FINISHSTART”, and the Duration defaults to “PT0M”. This rule applies only to the WS-Calendar component “Interval”. Other components must fully express their relationships. This means that within a partition, the following: <xcal:interval> <xcal:properties> <xcal:related-to> <xcal:uid>[email protected]</xcal:uid> </xcal:related-to> </xcal:properties> </xcal:interval> Fully expresses that this interval Starts as soon as 4425e05d-61be-46db-b460-eeb992f1b54f finishes, with an zero-duration intervening time. Of course, it I still legal to express a different relation, and a different intervening duration. Any objections? tc “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends upon his not understanding it” -- Upton Sinclair.
