Bad choics of words on my part - Even when a DCDate is constructed from a metadata value string rather than a Date, the first thing it does is construct a Date which it then uses to contruct the GregorianCalendar. > This discussion is great (and necessary!), but if/when we go > down this road I think it should be post-1.6.1 -- we don't > have time to make such big changes for 1.6.1, and it could be > argued that it's more than a 'bug fix'.

I personally wont have time to rewrite the class and test it properly pre-1.6.1.
