Ok, I did that and it works great.

It doesn't matter much to me. I suppose a string would be the most flexible
solution, but that kind of subverts the purpose of having strong types
anyway... This reminds me of the VB "variant". Maybe use datetime.(date)time
at the bizobj level and represent it with a string in the UI?

Great, works like a charm! Now I'm trying to figure out how to save the child
records. Using Dabo has made me realize how much I rely on documentation and
coding by example. It's a very humbling experience indeed... Good thing I got
out of professional software development while I had the chance ;-)

Tried that, it doesn't work.
Here's the XML after I edited it to add explicit widths (which are ignored
without errors). Am I not getting something here? Could there be parent sizer
properties being inherited to these sizers?
