A list of "bad" time values would also be very helpful.  The "bad" value
type is used to flag values that can't be "parsed" into one of the valid
types.  These were likely added when wikidata has less strict validation of
api input so are still in the database.

A bot would be able to fix them or they can be removed/re-added.
