Hi Mark,

1. a non human-readable serialization makes SF-Date something
different from Date;
2. if this is clear to everyone, it's ok to me, since Date has a lot
of machine-processing use cases (e.g. caching).

For new fields, I think that using this data type should not be a
MUST. I'd like to be free to standardize a new field
that conveys a date in ISO format (e.g. as a string).

My 2¢,
R.
