RE:request for feedback on #3: I would want that in the typical case the user interface shows the EDTF value and that it's easy to enter dates in that format. In most cases, a user should just be able to input dates without worrying about qualifiers. The user should not have to worry about Wikidata having its own time system that differs from the ISO-supported EDTF. As far as what happens on the backend, I can see that it might make sense sometimes to store two values. If we for example have dates in the Julian calendar storing that date both in the Julian calendar and also in Gregorian EDTF would make it easier to sort dates while still being able to display the Julian date. I believe that the longer Wikidata doesn't fix this issue the more times people will make errors when entering dates because they are not thinking about the conversion between how Wikidata's idea of time differs from the ISO standard.
