LIGO has recently published several terabytes of time-series data, and 
it is not about photometry or light curves, but rather 
gravitational-wave strain at 4 kHz (https://losc.ligo.org/S6/). There 
are also megabytes of time-series data that are 1 Hz boolean flags about 
data quality.  So its a bit strange to read Tody's document that says: 
"a time series deals with flux vs time".

Perhaps the IVOA could more carefully distinguish between "time series" 
and its sub-class "light curve"?
