[webservices] Beta release of ws-station, please test

[Philip Crotwell]

Did some simple tests and mostly it seems fine for my client.

I am guessing you were not able to address the issue with not allowing
the "time" part on a time window? I still get the Invalid date format
error for that. Is that slated for the next revision?

thanks,
Philip
