Here is my best shot at categorizing the different outstanding design
issues:

1. Datetime arithmetic
    a) datetime +/- timedelta
        i. Naive (no tzinfo) datetime objects
        ii. Aware (with tzinfo) datetime objects
    b) datetime - datetime
        i. When both are naive
        ii. When both have same tzinfo
        iii. When the two have different tzinfos
2. Inter-timezone conversion
    a) adding an isdst (or which) attribute
    b) algorithm specification

I think 1ai, 2bi, and 1biii are uncontroversial at this point, and 2a we
have consensus on the need but not the name
