Speaking of which -- now that Python is poised to grow an official DateTime
classes, what are your thoughts on revising DB-API to officially endorse
them?  Don't get me wrong; I use mx.DateTime and think it is a great product
and very much appreciate that you make it available.  However, it does make
sense to move toward using a builtin Python class in DB-API.  These can then
be trivially converted to mx.DateTime objects (as long as leap seconds
aren't a big deal).

Your thoughts?
