I just send an Email to the wikidata-tech mailing list on this topic of using data value types and property data types, and on using the string value or IRI value for the URL datatype.
I would very much appreciate input there. The latter decision has to happen rather quickly (if we are not to move the URL datatype once more), the former decision has a bit more time but should be made soonish.
Thank you for your input so far, and sorry for changing mailing lists, but I think wikidata-tech is more appropriate.
Cheers, Denny

I just found that there also are cases with 'time' => 'bad' See for example https://www.wikidata.org/w/__**api.php?action=wbgetclaims&__**entity=Q7415505&format=xmlhttps://www.wikidata.org/w/__api.php?action=wbgetclaims&__entity=Q7415505&format=xml <https://www.wikidata.org/w/**api.php?action=wbgetclaims&** entity=Q7415505&format=xmlhttps://www.wikidata.org/w/api.php?action=wbgetclaims&entity=Q7415505&format=xml
.
It has the time given as "+00000001984-23-01T00:00:00Z"**__; notethat
the month number is 23.A list of "bad" time values would also be very helpful. The "bad" value type is used to flag values that can't be "parsed" into one of the valid types. These were likely added when wikidata has less strict validation of api input so are still in the database.
I will make a list, but I had to modify my database dump parser program once more after also finding the "bad" time values and restart reading the database dump, so it take some extra time to be ready.
No hurry.

A bot would be able to fix them or they can be removed/re-added.
