I envision implementing it so it is compatible with existing code, and then see 
where people take it.

That sounds like a good idea to me. Do you envision a lot of OOTB
changes or is it mostly WorkEffort for now?

One feature I would like to see in the entity definition is an
"Implements" attribute. The attribute contains an entity name, and it
describes an entity that is to be extended as a NEW entity.

I suggested something like this back in 2004, and the motivation was
similar to the discussion here:

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/OFBIZ-5740

Sometimes all you need is a date range entity, but your only choice is
WorkEffort - with all of its baggage.

So, we could do something like this:


DateRange
---------
dateRangeId, id-ne*
fromDate, date-time
thruDate, date-time
estimatedFromDate, date-time
estimatedThruDate, date-time


WorkEffort (implements DateRange)
------------------
workEffortTypeId, id
currentStatusId, id
etc...

The WorkEffort entity definition would look something like this:

<entity entity-name="WorkEffort" implements="DateRange" ...>
  <field name="workEffortId" implements="dateRangeId" />
  ...
</entity>


What do you think?
