I think that would make the most sense, but there are examples of null foliations (for example Eddington-Finkelstein coordinates). I don't think it makes sense for the surfaces of the foliation to have any timelike tangent vectors, and AFAIK there are no examples of proposed foliations that do.Dale said:You additionally want the foliation to be spacelike.
