robb-
by, 'temporal bounding boxes' are you suggesting valid time only, or valid
time *and* transactional time (bi-temporal) bounding boxes/variables?

Actually we were thinking of boxes starting at the reference time to some
valid time. So if the valid times were every 3 hours, one could get boxes
