FYI, I removed this week an historical boundary recently created in France:
http://www.openstreetmap.org/relation/4568925/history The intend of this contributor was clearly to find an existing town into its older region using the default OSM name finder (he was involved in a forum discussion) where nominatim could, for instance, sort the results by dates. Of course, tags like "type=boundary:1790-1972" or "admin_level:1790-1972=2" are not recognized by nominatim. I also forwarded this contributor to OHM explaining that OSM is not intended to support historical boundaries. But the demand exists.
