(This is my cue to beat an old horse.) Will you only allow a single Dated
Money Value to show the net_income for 2008. That is, when we know the net_income
for 2009, will you *add* this information to the data for 2008 to keep the
running history, or will you delete the information for 2008?
I ask because the population property for San Francisco has a Dated Integer for 2006
(the most recent census). I add added the census population for 2000, but someone
deleted it, probably assuming it was a mistake.
