Etch data type for datetimes?

Could there be an Etch data type for datetimes? That would greatly increase
compatibility between systems, reducing errors from printers and parsers,
and relaxing requirements for producers and consumers to use specific
formatters.

The Datetime type is supported via an Builtin type. In the Etch IDL you can
write it like here
http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/etch/trunk/tests/src/main/etch/Types.etch This
will be translated to the native date time type like in Java to
java.util.Date

Thanks
