given recent discussions around ip addresses, I am not sure about the
consensus and perhaps we should consider to name the new date and time
types differently, e.g.

   date -> date-with-zone
   date-no-zone -> date
   time -> time-with-zone
   time-no-zone -> time

to avoid similar discussions in the future and to adopt a naming style
where optional elements are reflected in the name instead of using a
naming style where the absence of optional parts is reflected in the
name.

That's a reasonable rationale, and might even make a good CLR if
adopted from the very beginning, but given the ability of model
designers to read too much (or too little) into names,
perhaps one might consider the possibility of eliminating this
particular source of confusion altogether?

    date -> date-with-zone
    date-no-zone -> date-no-zone
    time -> time-with-zone
    time-no-zone -> time-no-zone
