I think it's critical that we specify a method that is general enough
to solve all these problems. Having time be one axis in our files is
too limiting, it only solves a minor class of problem, when the whole
world is out there waiting to be solved if we specify an API that
behavior description languages can write to, be they Java or Smalltalk
or MOO.
