I think I misunderstood your original question. I see now that you were proposing to set up a completely different system, based on the OSM software. You could easily use the existing OSM software to produce different map layers for display based on start/end date / civilization / period etc. for display to users (as long as you tag the features in the map with these!). Do you mean editor support for 'layers' to make it easy to edit only features with a specific start/end date / civlization etc.? The JOSM editor allows you to filter data ( http://josm.openstreetmap.de/wiki/Help/Dialog/Filter), which could give you a similar effect (e.g. only display data tagged as civilization=roman etc.). I am not sure if you can do that in Potlatch though. Therefore I think you could achieve what you want with existing OSM software. Maybe a bit of customisation to make editing easier or to allow filtering on date ranges. Regards Graham. -- Graham Jones Hartlepool, UK.
