[Historic] Dating features (was: Introduction & questions)

[Mikel Maron]

I strongly prefer encoded into the URL, to stay consistent with how tiles are currently requested, and make it simple to adapt client viewers.

Looks like "tile_translate" in mod_tile.c would be the place to start? Have you forked mod_tile on github?

I also have an interest in modelling troop movement, through how to do this would breaking the rails databases is problematic. ...there is also the question of whether we wish to link to 'current' features within OSM proper.

I'm trying to decide between a scheme where the date range is encoded directly into the URL or within a parameter of the URL request. Any preferences?
