Yeah, except that HyTime is more general, simpler, and easier to build
applications on.  It uses less machinery to do more, and without
imposing unnecessary constraints.  Also:

* HyTime doesn't confound interchange structure with the properties of
  the interchanged information,

* HyTime is syntax-agnostic, and 

* HyTime really delivers on the promise of re-usable software for
  vocabularies, even when vocabularies are mixed together and/or
  inherit each other.

Come to think of it, more and more people are finding themselves in a
position to appreciate HyTime these days.
