Toby Considine commented on WSCALENDAR-504:
-------------------------------------------

The work in ASHRAE, cited in the comment, ignores error collection. In OBIX 1.1, which was consumer by building telemetry, and had an editor in the building controls world, the need for the Stream to report missing data was important. In other words, a set of numbers only reflecting telemetry at 5 minute intervals is only good until the m first missed measurement. 

From another angle, XML is not ever guaranteed to sort in the same order as in the incoming artifact. the XML specification is explicit about this. 

This means that even in a parsimonious series, there needs to be a way to indicate sequence [order] as well as a way to indicate missing data. A time/date stamp, for example, can do both.

> While it seems to support many different kinds of collections of intervals and is therefore pretty powerful, it doesn't seem very easy to do the simple stuff - i.e. most people will likely do simple linear sequences most of the time. In the ASHRAE SPC201P FSGIM committee, while we are inheriting WS-Cal and are using it for the general case, we created a way to do this simple case directly. As I recall, I think that's the Sequence class which contains an ordered set of SimpleIntervals.
