Hi Mark et al.,

Any idea when this change will happen? If I look in the Central that  
is running the latest and greatest codebase, the forbidden ISA [some  
primitive] relationships are still in place :(. What is even worse is  
that the primitive DateTime ISA String. As a result I can not get one  
of my Objects (that plays by the rules of the latest specs)  
registered. At least I suspect this to be the problem. I don't get an  
error message when register my object, but it has amongst others a  
HASA DataTime and that relationship is not getting registered...

Cheers,

Pi
