Hi guys,
I just want to throw in a small observation.
I noticed that the default implementation of both TemporalCRS and
TemporalDatum on GeoTools rely on java.util.Date to store the axis origin
and perform the different conversions along with javax.measure.Unit stuff.
I'm wondering if wouldn't be better to use the temporal schema
implementation instead in order to have better aligned code, more coherent
conversions and temporal frames and also avoid to convert a posteriori util
Dates into opengis Positions, Instants or Periods.
What do you guys think about?
