So is the question whether there should be strong types for qualifiers as 
opposed to just a string with custom logic for each type of template box that 
will be displayed in articles? My opinion is that it is too difficult to know 
in advance how many and what types of qualifiers the data will have to add much 
specificity in the database right now. Maybe date ranges will be very frequent, 
maybe they won't. Maybe precision and uncertainty ranges will be frequent, 
maybe they won't.

Such an old topic, and was unread in my mailbox by now. :-)

Although having validity intervals in Data would be great, I think now, as we 
have Lua, there is a client-side approach at least for such specific data as 
DB's timetable that is interesting mostly for dewiki.
