Notation for negative quantities usually starts with a minus (with exceptions for bookkeeping). It still does even though ASCII unified the hyphen with the minus. We cannot perform interval arithmetic on intervals with unknown limits or compare them. Automated processing tools would not benefit from the ability to recognize such intervals in markup even though they often occur in ancient biographies. For the record, Chris
