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

[Jeff Meyer]

So, let's test two cases:

* Time Pixels:

base-uri/YYYY/zoom/x/y.img

Should this return start, middle, or end of YYYY, or should we enforce
YYYY-MM-DD at a minimum?

* Web Mercator of Time:

If the year is -2000 BCE, how should we express that?

I'm fine with any answer, but we should pick one and use it until it
breaks. Sound ok? I'm not smart enough to suggest the answer...
