| I don't see much point in adding dates specifically. The dates are useful information both now for a future perspective, (e.g. for planning a route to an event, you might want to make a map of the roads as they will be when the event happens) and will be useful in future for a historical perspective, even ignoring the side benefit of the map changing automatically to the right thing on next re-render. | I don't think we should | expect it all to show up as complete in the database magically on the date.

We use YYYY-MM-DD format, so just a string greater than comparison (i.e. >) is good enough. | It's not particularly difficult to change it to a highway=trunk (or | whatever) when it's open.

Tag it with "start_date=2008-08 approx - Summer 2008". (summer being June to August, give them the benefit of the doubt and put it at the end). On the day it opens (or when the opening date is announced), change it to the date of that day.
