I don't imagine the situation would be any different to the mx.DateTime
types - how are they written (I've had a quick look at the source, and
there doesn't appear to be any special support, so I presume you convert
them to strings first)?

If you have experience doing that sort of thing, any patches you supply
would be valuable.
