Hi Stevan,

Take a look at

    http://simile.mit.edu/timeline/examples/monet/monet.html

Note the event "Lived at Argenteuil, near Paris" between 1870 and 1880. 
The two ends of the event are imprecise, and the XML looks like this:

<event start="1871" latestStart="1872" earliestEnd="1878" end="1879" 
isDuration="true" title="Lived at Argenteuil, near Paris">
        From 1871 to 1878 Monet lived at Argenteuil, a village on the 
Seine near
        Paris, and here were painted some of his best known works.
</event>

start to latestStart define the fuzzy beginning, and earliestEnd to end 
define the fuzzy ending.

Hope that helps,

David
