I really think we should expand the meaning of the existing restriction tag. It was originally made for turn restrictions, and currently supports hours and days of the week, but there's no reason why it couldn't also have days of the year. I'd much rather extend the meaning of an existing tag than have two tags that mean essentially the same thing. Chris C.
