I like the temporary: prefix proposal. Just for duration period I reccomend using opening hours scheme instead of start_date and end_date, because it solves problems with syntax and multiple intervals nicely. Maybe it would need a little tweaking (it doesn't include year in current syntax). I suggest temporary:period=[opening_hours scheme] Tomas _______________________________________________ talk mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/talk
