We are all eagerly awaiting suggestions that would simplify
opening_hours syntax and still be unambiguously parseable. Or should
we just allow "Mon-Fri 10-3" and leave the data consumers to figure
out if that's a lunch place or a hip late dinner spot?
Or we can build editors with support for these formats. Few are
inserting raw XML into the database anymore, editors are involved
anyway.
