Sounds like start_date and end_date would work fine in this situation. "Historical mapping" doesn't really mean much; we're only talking about adding information about dates to features, and there's no limit to how fine grained you could get with this. Ephemeral features are just as welcome as things like buildings that might exist for hundreds of years and are, in many ways, much more exciting examples of the proposal.
That's my opinion at least; load the database with all the dating information you can and leave it to those who control the renderers to decide what they want to show.
