This would allow the results of a query outputting an `edtf:EDTF` value to be easily ORDERed, by the earliest possible date, or the latest possible date, or perhaps the midpoint of the two... I'd light to highlight this particular function as I also believe it to be useful. There was discussion in the extension itself about adding an xsd:date for the start and/or end of an interval, but others felt that this would not be correct as it is not **actually** a point in time. Still, it would be very useful for things like event schedules (I am not sure that middle would be suitable, since it is not a time specified by the interval at all, but others might disagree; perhaps it could be achieved easily by adding both together and dividing by two).
