.... As an interested observer, my gut feeling is that "historical 
importance" is orthogonal to the type of event. You could have Music 
Events, Sports Events, Theatre Events (or whatever) that "become" 
historically interesting...

Would it not be possible to mark up an event with an addtional 
"HistoricalSignificance":

    ... "@type" : [ "Event", "HistoricalSignificance" ]

"HistoricalSignificance" properties could then hold information about 
what the context is, who thinks the event is significant, when they 
thought so, why, to whom, etc...

As an additional benefit, this could extend to Places with Historical 
Significance, People with Historical Significance...
