Interesting. Are u sure joda-time is so widely in usage among java developers ?
Anyway, as far as I remember, one of the benefits of clojure running on an existing VM (the JVM) is to leverage all the existing APIs. Since the date/time support would be in clojure-contrib (and not clojure-core), couldn't it make sense to have joda jar as an explicitly required dependency. And the design of you lib could carefully avoid exposing joda internals, so that joda could remain an implementation detail (and eventually be thrown away when you have the time to rewrite it) ?
