My email is playing bad tricks so I am receiving some of this only now.

The delay is because although you may have hundreds of examples, we 
haven't formalised yet how to express a taxonomy of periods i.e. you may 
refer from the text (using <period>) to the Hellenistic period expressed 
in a formal way, but where? I was thinking of using the <taxonomy> 
element (and I think this came out at the last council meeting too) for 
this and then wanted to ask suggestions from the workgroup, but never 
went around actually doing it.

Just because this was assigned to me doesn't mean you cannot do it... :)
