Scott,

I wasn't aware that we had collectively settled on a
problem definition or had moved on to solving anything.  If
I've missed the cutoff, please consider my comments and
suggestions as late brainstorming.

I for one am interested in how to clearly mark up "6
shillings" or "5 dollars" when the author means "in 1836"
or "in 1905."
