How to define the extension interfaces

(Rob) Still considering the two approaches: using a hierarchy (i.e. ITimeSpaceLinkableComponent extends IBaseLinkableComponent, MyComponent implements ITimeSpaceLinkableComponent) or composition (i.e. MyComponent implements ILinkableComponent, ILinkableComponentTimeSpaceExtension). Should consider the effect when adding a linkable component interface for the loop method(s) or for the FRAMES dictionary support. Also see how OGC spatial element sets can be added as an extension and how this effects the interfaces.
