My point was that no, I can't comment on your real question. Too many 
people just dive in and change things so the tests pass without really 
looking closely at what they're doing. This is likely how DateTime got 
to be such a mess in the first place: works for me, must be okay!

It's good to see someone paying some decent attention to this, I just 
hope you're paying real close attention and really understand the 
problem, 'cos it's a damn hard problem...

cheers,

Chris
