SRFI 19 dates include a nanosecond field, which PLT dates lack, and PLT dates 
have a dst? field which SRFI 19 dates lack.  Also, I believe PLT dates take 
the week-day and year-day as arguments to the make-date constructor, whereas 
SRFI 19 calculates these values.

Neil Van Dyke has a version of SRFI 19 that makes SRFI 19 dates a subtype of 
the PLT date structure.  This is a feature I hope to include in my 
implementation too.
