[OHM] TimeSlider - calling attention to early prototype

[Rob H Warren]

Figuring all of this is something that will take place in a few iterations. Things to keep in mind: The Gregorian calendar starts around 1582 and anything before is only really valid as a year.

The interface between the slider and rendering was originally meant to be an add-on to the tile renderer with something like startDate, endDate being part of the tile URL.

Tim, nice work with the extra layers. What do you think of using TIME-OWL style named time periods to deal with things like "Roman Era" for "historic" tags? This avoids splitting hairs when rendering with dates and help people tag things properly. We can borrow some previous time data from [1].
