Discussion/Conclusion: We decided to let the LinkableComponent have a propery: CascadingCallsDisabled CascadingUpdateCallsDisabled.
The default is false, indicating that the component is running in Pull Driven mode (there will be a cascade of update() calls. This Pull Driven mode has to be supported by every component.
If set to true, the component is expected to run Update()-step by Update-Step(), controlled by some outer world (which may be another component). If the component does not support this Update() by Update() way of running, it will throw an Exception when CascadingCallsDisabled CascadingUpdateCallsDisabled= true is called;

1. The Timezone issue has been re-adressed. The .Net TimeZone does not provide what we need, while the TimeZoneInfo is only available in 3.5, and therefore will not run on MONO.
   Discussion/Conclusion led to the following decisions:
   1. Daylight Saving Time jumps in time series are not allowed
   2. The TimeSet will contain a property that expresses its offset from UTC, expressed in hours (see below). The Gui will check these offsets, and if they are different, it will ask the user to put a decorator in between.
