Well, Timespecs have nanosecond resolution while
the iso 8601 routines have something like microsecond
resolution. So if we want to preserve that info in
XML, we can't use the iso routines.

The latter would be very useful, but would also be more work.
To add a new kvp type you need to implement it in C, scheme,
xml, and sql :)
