Browse Source 
- Updated perspective.md: require source citations in temporal answers
- Filed feature request #75 for BCE temporal tag support (tested 7 formats, all rejected)

- Fixed source date detection bug (modern books about ancient figures)
- Answers now cite attesting source and its date per document footnotes
