How better to present these dates?

In the Kugyō section:

............................................... lifetime, 773-843
.... time in office (832-843)
.......... Sadaijin (832-843), Fujiwara Otsugu　(藤原緒嗣), 773-843

• Sadaijin (832-843), Fujiwara Otsugu　(藤原緒嗣), 773-843　<:ref>Brown, D. (1979). Gukanshō, p. 283.</ref>
• Sadaijin, Minamoto Tokiwa　(源常),　844-854<:ref>Brown, p. 283.</ref>
• Udaijin, Kiyohara Natsuno　(清原夏野),　832-837<:ref>Brown, p. 283.</ref>
• Udaijin, Fujiwara Mimori　(藤原三守),　838-840<:ref>Brown, p. 283.</ref>
• Udaijin, Minamoto Tokiwa　(源常),　840-844
• Udaijin, Tachibana Ujitomo　(橘氏公),　844-847<:ref>Brown, p. 283.</ref>
• Udaijin, Fujiwara Yoshifusa　(藤原良房),　848-857<:ref>Brown, p. 284.</ref>

In the intial edit, I intended to present the dates during which someone held a specific court title, but that now seems too ambitious for a start-level article. The intention had been to explain the sequence of serial officeholders with these dates.

Instead, it's probably better to simply list the birth/death dates. Arguably, it might be possible (or even preferable) to include both sets of dates as the information becomes available ...? --Ooperhoofd 17:41, 27 August 2007 (UTC)
