Re: Removing "Collection" from the Periodical & Comics proposal

Hi Dan,

Thanks for all this work!

Yes, it's much better this way!
startDate and endDate would look awkward defined for Periodical-related classes anyway. I guess their scope is much wider. And am a bit surprised they don't exist yet in schema.org.

OK, starting the research:
- there's startDate and endDate on (separately!) http://schema.org/Season and http://schema.org/Series, http://schema.org/Event
- there's startTime and endTime on http://schema.org/Action

Perhaps some homogeneization could help (though I suspect it's hard to change names on established classes).

OK!
