Alexander Klimetschek commented on JCR-2619:
--------------------------------------------

> d) the ISO8601 format is used extensively for serialization 
>   (persistence layer, remoting protocols, xml, etc)

If the persistence layer can't (currently) be changed to use the same 
serialization format (eg. the optimized long) w/o conversion, I agree that the 
string rep is probably better.

> improved internal representation of DATE values

>
> DATE values are currently internally represented as java.util.Calendar 
> objects.
> Calendar objects have a huge memory footprint (approx 200bytes per instance) 
> and are mutable.
> i suggest to replace the internal DATE representation with a ISO8601 format 
> string
> (immutable and approx. 85-90% smaller footprint).
