I'm looking into XMLGregorianCalendar as well -- I wouldn't say DCDate "revolves" around java.util.Date so much.. it is often constructed from a Date object, and can return one but the private calendar objects which are storing the actual date/time components are plain GregorianCalender.
This discussion is great (and necessary!), but if/when we go down this road I think it should be post-1.6.1 -- we don't have time to make such big changes for 1.6.1, and it could be argued that it's more than a 'bug fix'. I think we can tidy up the small problems with granularity, display and so on for 1.6.1 and then go from there. Happy to hear counterpoints!
