Thanks for this clarification. But then, What would "1900P2" have as boundaries: (1900 and 1999) or (1850 and 1950)? My point is: How much does the semantics of "P" overlap the semantics of "X"? Is 19XX a short form for 1950P2 or for 1900P2? Does 1920P2 mean the same thing as 1950P2 and 19XX?
Regards!
