My concern with a "Broken Gregorian" calendar model is the well-demonstrated 
willingness of editors to add data using whatever models are supported, whether 
it's true or not. ((For example, all the birth dates and death dates for people 
not born near the Prime Meridian are false because the time zone is set to 
zero.) A Broken Gregorian model should only be applied to dates which the 
source purports to be Gregorian, but will probably misapplied to correctly 
stated dates in calendars such as the Swedish calendar 
<https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q1130275#sitelinks-wikipedia>. Perhaps there 
could be a concept of a quoted date, with an ability to state the date, the 
source, and an entitiy or character string to give the calendar.
