ISO 8601 uses the (possibly proleptic) Gregorian calendar for all dates. When 
converting a date from a part of the world that was not under the influence of 
the Roman Empire, such as Chinese or Mayan, is it really Wikidata's place to 
determine that it is more appropriate to convert to a Julian date rather than a 
Gregorian date? I think there are sufficient use cases for Gregorian dates 
earlier than 15 October 1582 that Wikidata should not disallow them or make 
them harder to use than Julian dates.
