Andrew: I think this is key to making Wikidata suitable for a historical gazetteer. Andy was referring to changes allowing names/labels with dates. Will there be such?

Properties can have modifiers such as date, labels can't. So there's a bit of a challenge here - we would be able to construct a field that says "historic name : Warschau (date:1939-45)", but this would be shown as a historic name in Polish, German, English, Chinese...
maybe that's not a problem as this was indeed the official name in that time?
cheers, Martin
