[Data-modeling] Film domain: Film property: Release dates

[Robert Cook]

By the way, this is the first time we would be denormalizing a  
property like this, where one represents the "definitive" value and  
the other contains the complete list.  I ultimately think that this  
should be done more elegantly, where the definitive value is perhaps a  
synthetic property that contains a query on the property that contains  
the complete list.

However, we don't yet have this functionality, and we would like to  
start collecting more detailed data.  So, this is the best solution we  
can think of now.  Comments?
