[Tagging] Feature Proposal – RFC – Time domains

[Peter Wendorff]

Hi Eckhart.

With a rough scan only - so no details about the content of your wiki page:
Yes, I think it's useful to have this kind of documentation, but IMHO 
it's not a good replacement, but an addition to the example based one.
To understand a technical documentation like that you have to understand 
everything. To use simple examples it's sufficient to find one that 
nearly fits and adapt it to the individual needs, most of the time this 
satisfies opening hours, collecting times and much more tags.

I agree, that a more formal description and documentation is useful, and 
that this documentation should be the base to check the more human 
readable documentation (e.g. the example based one) against, but to 
replace it excludes less technical people from this tag even more than 
currently, where it's already a slightly complicated one (that's no 
offense, but a fact IMHO).

regards
Peter
