[OHM] TimeSlider - calling attention to early prototype

[SK53]

Hi All,

These examples are certainly close to what I started trying to mock up for
my recent blog post, but decided would take too long to make look
reasonable.

My one comment on the implementations is that it should be possible to type
a date into the text box showing the date on the slider. Ideally the date
display would also provide some mechanism to indicate date 'fuzziness'.

Way out in the future one might imagine a slider being non-linear using
speed of change to allow for more precise date selection (a la panning on
tablets/phones).
