Ferdinand, what we did on the Spanish localization was assuming that a 
"special" period at the begining of the year is an opening period, and 
that a special period at the end of the year is a closing one:

   * period.special and period.date_start ==
     period.fiscalyear_id.date_start and period.date_stop ==
     period.fiscalyear_id.date_start => Opening period
   * period.special and period.date_start ==
     period.fiscalyear_id.date_stop and period.date_stop ==
     period.fiscalyear_id.date_stop => Closing period


Maybe as a compromise, to be backwards compatible in 5.0, we could 
implement special_open and special_close as function fields (with store).
