Thanks for the kind words! It's always good to hear of people getting some use out of the content I post here. Regarding your question on availability of data, I think that depends on the process and the situation you find yourself in. I can certainly see the historical data consideration potentially showing up as an item in the "additional notes" section, or even as a rule in the rules section.. If it is a common enough question for all of your processes, you might even add it in its own little space on the template.
Depending on circumstance, you might even add a column to the data table to indicate whether you needed historical data and how many months, etc.
Hope that helped. If not, let me know. Always glad to help when I can!

A while ago I posted a list of open source data modeling/UML tools. You might want to take a look at there.

One of my team members has tried screen mock-ups with text call-outs for some of the details. They have been very well received by business stakeholders, and are easier for the BA to speak from in terms of describing the functionality. The mocked-up screens with call-outs adds seems to add a needed dimension of context/color to the "BTD".
