Thanks. I don't know what Dan did for hoard.it, but our original
script treated 'about' or 'circa' as the date plus/minus five years.
So 'circa 1800' would be returned as '1795/1805'. For 'before' or
'after', you could return a pair of dates with either the first or
second blank, accordingly. This is assuming we encode time periods as
per the guidelines in the PNDS application profile:

Sounds great! How does it deal with dates commonly found in
genealogy, such as "ABT 7 July 1950" or "AFT 25 Dec 2000" or "BEF
Jan 1925"? or even "ABT 2000 ?
