I've pushed another proposal to the website [1], it's about adding @Past/@Future support for the date/time types added in Java 8 (java.time.* package, added by JSR 310). The proposal essentially standardizes the proprietary support we had in HV, plus some additions.

Please let me know what you think, especially on the questions towards the end. Either put comments inline on the source on GitHub [2] or let's have a discussion here.

I haven't been using JSR 310 extensively myself, so any feedback by those who have is more than welcome.

Thanks,

--Gunnar
