Record
DELIBERATELY OPEN-ENDED, and it will need a successor bracket eventually. Collides by name with style.contemporary, which means the prevailing current idiom rather than a date; the axis prefix disambiguates. A 2024 building in full Georgian pastiche is period.contemporary and is emphatically not style.contemporary, which is the case that shows why the two cannot be merged.
