I must agree with Sebastian. I strongly feel that the new name is entirely
misleading and uninformative. While I will agree that 'names and dates' now
does the chapter a disservice by not recognising the amount of material for
describing persons/places/organisations, I believe that "Historical Data" is
really misleading.
Are you telling me that my tables of historical information are not historical
data? Or that my transcriptions aren't historical (or aren't data)? Just seems
misleading and prone to creating confusion to me.
