one of the things i've been contemplating for OHM time format
development is a strategy for dealing with Julian dates and
potentially non-western dates. but it's a lot and i've been too
busy to make any progress on this for a while.

the thing to keep in mind is that there is nothing much that processes
OSM dates, where as OHM needs to process dates to do the things. this
is what drives the differences.
