Eliot,

Thank you for putting together a proposal.  I have no objection to
using the GEO Profile structure definitions, since it would be best
for the two profiles to be compatible.  I do have a couple questions:

1.  Why are Date and Time separated into two elements?  Unless the
date and time are required to be separately searchable, I think
there's really no need to separate them into two elements.

2.  What is the repeatability of these elements?  I'm assuming that at
a minimum, Multiple Dates/Times is a repeatable element.
