If you want to use any data source in your program/tool, you first need to look into the data and see how things are specified. You will soon get an idea which qualifiers/properties are used to describe certain circumstances. Much more important in my opinion is that we do this consistently for all facts in some area so that we don't end up using two different qualifiers to describe the same fact on different statements.

If this is the case, then maybe it should just be kept as an intentionally broad property that captures what we now find in the Wikipedias.
+1, the more broad the application of certain property is, the better. We really don't need to be 100% specific with a property, if we can exploit qualifiers.

I worry about this way of specializing properties. How are people, and particularly programs, going to be able to find out that a qualifier is needed, which qualifier it is, and how it is to be used, or which broad property is to be used for a specific purpose?
