Light curves in the IVOA

[Rob Seaman]

In particular, VOEvent use cases emphasize the "Simple" in  
SimpleTimeSeries.  A primary goal of v2.0 is a schema that is hardened  
(and validate-able) for battlefield usage by third party troops.  Much  
effort has gone into SimpleTimeSeries to make it compatible with that  
goal.
