Some of the complexity is hard to avoid, and in part
due to other standards not delivering necessary specs.
In particular the date/period types and algebra should
already have been done somewhere else (ISO 8601 or a
successor). Same for regexps.

There's still the mess caused by the numeric types, which
certainly *could* have been avoided.
