Wow, I didn't realise such a thing existed - looks potentially rather awesome,
although I agree it is slightly empty right now.
What's the background / roadmap / plan with it? Is it 'owned' by OSM, or an
offshoot?
http://lists.openstreetmap.org/listinfo/historic is the discussion list, and
it's a work in progress ... needs a bit more support to get the rules laid down
and one of the things still to be resolved is how to link between current data
which may have 'start_date' relevant to a search, and data which has expired
from the current map ...
