On a related note, the concept of (Local)DayOfMonth is useful for financial
applications (we've written our own implementation of this). For example, when
does a company's financial year end? 30th Sept - the same date every year, but
different for different companies.
Might be interesting to find out what other specialist concepts are out there
and whether it's a very small number of concepts that could be supported
directly or there's a lot of different concepts but there are some
abstractions that the library could use, for example, to make writing certain
kinds of custom Partials very easy.

Hello,
The concept of "time of week" (e.g., "Tuesday at 14:30") is a cornerstone of
applications in many industries such as broadcast media (when does Lost show?
how much does time slot X cost?) and transportation (when do trains depart
Millbrae? when should I switch to routing my user on the freeway because
carpool rules take effect?), and doubtless many others.
This is mild plea to accept this as a type in Joda-Time. If there's doubt
over whether it's as important as the others, if nothing else then having it
in Joda-Time will help us to find out its value for sure before finalizing the
JSR!
