Sort Order:
Regarding temporal wording: Here are my suggestions (from the top of my head):
Specifically regarding "recorded possibly in (near) 1957", I think it would be safest to only include date ranges which can be deduced, not simply guessed. I don't mind the "or" operator, though as long as the dates are also deduced (an example I can think of is an artist performing at the same venue twice in a year but the live release not giving a date) and not simply a huge list of potential dates. If you want this done with attributes, it's a style issue and needs an RFC. If you want it done in other way, it's a schema change server issue. Maybe we would also need the NOT keyword : « maybe/probably/guess not wrote the song » |

Addition of the signs (attributes) "probably" and "either... or" to relationships 
I really like (and want) this idea, but the only problem I can see is that you'd have to know beforehand that it is in question.
i.e. You have one source that says "John Smith on drums" so you enter that. And then later on you find a second (hopefully more definitive) source that says "it was either John Smith or Peter James on drums", so you have to go back and add that 'or' attribute to the John Smith relationship, as well as making sure to turn it on for the new AR.
