Automatic TOC generation must be revised

At present, TOCs are only generated for documents which have multiple <text> elements. This is resulting in documents which should never have multiple texts being created that way, just so they get an automated TOC. Obviously this is silly, and I need to revise the system so that it continues to support the existing documents (while we change them -- although perhaps not all will change), but supports TOC generation for single-text documents based on some measure of complexity. (Or perhaps all documents with multiple div elements should get a TOC by default?)

Julian to Gregorian date conversion working

I now have a working and tested fuction which, given a Julian date at any level of specificity (YYYY, YYYY-MM, or YYYY-MM-DD) will return either a single Gregorian equivalent, or (more likely) a sequence of two Gregorian dates representing a corresponding range, accounting for the leap day offset and the March New Year issues.

Meanwhile, we've determined that in the context of the personography, birth and death dates will be rendered as en-dash-separated years only where both are precise and certain (i.e. @when). In other cases, the renderings will be split into b. xxx d. xxx clauses, so that the ranges, precision, certainty etc. on the two components (which may be different) can be expressed unambiguously.
