I see that this page does have a link to design docs for JSR-310 which is probably a good bet as to a usable DateTime API design (for Java at least). I just thought I'd mention that the documentation for the "nearly final" (i.e. barring serious bugs) API has been released at: http://download.java.net/jdk8/docs/technotes/guides/datetime/index.html Even if this is for Java, the design decisions about how the conepts of date/time are modeled (Instant vs. *DateTime, Periods, Durations, etc.) would apply in any language. They are also all essential concepts when working seriously with date/time even though the distinctions may not appear so at first. (I should mention that the lead on the JSR-310 spec was also the author of JodaTime which gets much deserved credit by Java developers for bringing date/time manipulation on the JVM out of the dark ages of java.util.Date. JSR-310 is a slightly reworked/simplified version of that API, so it's a sort of "what are the essentials?" version of JodaTime.)
