gml:TimeCoordinateSystem

A temporal coordinate system shall be based on a continuous interval scale defined in terms of a single time interval.
The differences to ISO 19108 TM_CoordinateSystem are:
-	the origin is specified either using the property gml:originPosition whose value is a direct time position, or using the property gml:origin whose model is gml:TimeInstantPropertyType; this permits more flexibility in representation and also supports referring to a value fixed elsewhere;
-	the interval uses gml:TimeIntervalLengthType.
