I think it would be good to cover time periods better in general - as far  
as I know we haven't yet sorted out such things as businesses that open  
twice in a single day (as massive numbers do in Spain), so maybe time  
things are hard...

Noting the problem of HistoricalEvent and when it happeed, I would suggest  
that HistoricalPeriod is a misnomer, and we want to describe time without  
making it relative to where we are now. Is "2020" or "the 46th presidency  
of the US" or "the Reign of King Charles II of England" an historical  
event? What about "the 21st century"? (If we switch to some other calendar  
that one migth get easier ;) ).
