Certainly my main concern at the moment is a slider for allocating a suitable active date range to an object in an editor, and my comments have been from that perspective.
I would agree that for consumption of data a single time point selector is needed: I presume that simply dropping one of the end points on the demo sliders would achieve that at a technical level. Two other comments: - I think some of the early use cases for OHM were for mapping military campaigns (and specifically WWI battlefields) in which case day level granularity is needed on the sliders. - I realise I'm not clear about where we propose to store event related location data (for instance, locations of ships in a sea battle, such as Jutland/Skaggerak). This type of truly ephemeral data does not fit particularly well with the OSM-derived model.
