The time API should be suitable for writing say an appointment book
app and also an email client (timestamps on email), for example.  It
should have a nice test suite for verification. It should work nicely
with GDate. We haven't thought about it in much detail aside from
that.

I think there was a bit of a thread about it on this list a while
back, if you look around in the archives.
