Exactly. Its quaint. Tagging specific forecasts as temporal takes what
is a lazy eventualistic, let-someone-else-do-it process and signals
that specific outdated language (and its outdated reference) need
updating. A "switchbot" could then perhaps message the editor who
wrote the section/tag. Context-based signalling.
