I'd say that January 30 + 1 month should be March 1, not February 29.

The Java world is considering the same question. The current release
has java.util.Calendar which does as you suggest, and it's a
horrible, widely-despised solution. The proposed change for Java 7
is based on the joda-time.sf.net library which takes an interesting
approach: distinguish between adding a Duration and a Period. What
you describe would be adding Period.month(1). Joda considers the
difference between two DateTime instances to be a Duration.
