I can see why convention over configuration is strong within a development
community but what we observed across a wide variety of a user community was
very different need.
Regarding what is arguably 'natural' from one language to another this is a
great point that I personally had not considered. Fortunately I believe the
set of supported terms to accept as indicators of periods can be substantially
expanded though I am not aware of how problematic ambiguity could be. We could
of course choose to support some specific standard for expression of time
periods though so still have viable paths.
