Thinking aloud. Â I usually don't have to write dates in my code, because they are picked by the user. I think that a well built kernel and nice well integrated UI widgets (maybe I'm going out of the scope :P ) are enough in most of the cases.
+1 I like the libraries that support to write dates and times in neat Smalltalk ways, but they should not compromise the use of date-times when handling strings coming from the UI front-end. Having a 'xxxx' asString that does not return an error when the timestring is wrong cripples that. You would essentially need to use a separate parser-checker before trying to use the basic conversion libraries for date-times.
Anyway, IMHO it's very important to review Time>>fromString: because it's useful for serialization stuff. Â Like webservices and that kind of things a lot of people have to use.

+1 Are you already onto it? If not, I can make my hands dirty on this one ;-)
All yours I think :P.
