Periods are often fuzzy.  For example a major highway over a major mountain
range in California is closed
from "first significant snowfall after October, until enough snow melts to
plow, or memorial day (whichever comes first)"
See http://www.nps.gov/yose/planyourvisit/tiogaopen.htm
Go ahead and try to fit that into the opening_hours tag.


The tagging *should set rendering.*


The tagging *could also* realize that eventually you break into free text.
 The goal of tagging is to alert the user of the need to read the free text.
