Dear Pierpaolo,
This thread was only about Julian and Gregorian calendar dates. If and
how other calendar models should be supported in some future is
another (potentially big) discussion. As you said, there are many
issues there. Let's first make sure that we handle the "easy" 99.9% of
cases correctly before discussing any more complicated options.
Lydia Pintscher in the starting email explained that there's a model for
calendars, and unfortunately this model could be (and has been)
interpreted in two ways (AFAIU).
My intention was to point out that one of the two interpretations is not
sound. This leaves the other one as the only viable one.
Cheers P.
It appears (from the email only---there are no pointers to enduring
documentation on the solution that are attached to the relevant classes or
poperties) that the chosen method is to store dates in both the source
calendar and the proleptic Gegorian calendar
(
https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Wikidata:Project_chat#calendar_model_screwup).
As you point out, this is not a viable solution for calendars whose days do
not start at the same time as days in the proleptic Gegorian calendar
(unless, of course, there is time and location information also available).
