Maybe we should email Quartz and see if they'll implement the missing 
functionality.  Even if they don't, it might be possible to avoid the dayOfWeek 
+ dayOfMonth issue if the TCK doesn't test it.  It would still be broken, but 
if it can pass the TCK that would buy us a little time to fix it more properly 
after a certified release.  Then we could take all the time we need to do a 
more robust impl if we wanted.

I'm not too sure on persistence.  Currently we don't really do any persistence 
at all.  Would probably want to know more about any potential Quartz related 
persistence before commenting more.  Not too critical to solve in the immediate 
term as @Schedule isn't needed for the Java EE 6 Web Profile, but if we can get 
non-persistent @Schedule support in that would be great.  We can do the 
persistent work after the Web Profile completion if it looks like it might be 
hard.
