This all sounds good, although I'd be happier if the Indo-European stuff stuck around as a section.  Most of the readers of en.wikipedia do in fact speak one or more Indo-European languages and many of them are young people on school assignment, who may want some concrete examples.  Of course making the article a more complete survey of tense in general, in all known languages, is a big yes. And if the ""English has no future"" people will kindly settle down and argue in the English grammar pages, I won't object to removing the crap I added for them.

Let's not throw out the baby with the bathwater is all.
