Could we not follow suit and support both Josh's SimpleTimeSeries for inline representations and my strongly-typed reference mechanism for external representations. We could also bring pressure to bear on the DM group to define standard serializations of the appropriate data models for various TOTs as a high priority.

What would this "strongly-typed reference mechanism" look like?  My initial reaction is that this does indeed sound like something we've discussed positively in the past.
