Not directly this doc, however some concepts apply regardless.  Time Series
is
a VAO priority and this Interop agreed to do work on data models and access
methods to support that (in some cases, that work is localized to VAO
prototypes).
These efforts in describing TS should NOT be something other than what VOE
provides on its own, that's just not the "IVOA way".   I'm sure there's a
way to
bring this all together in a common standard, but not if 2.0 pushed through
in spite of the overlap with other IVOA projects.

'Consensus' should not end up being the documented capitulation that
includes
all local conventions, in some ways it should mean a 'compromise' by all
those
local parties to a use a common standard.
