Valid points, but just to split this hair a little further in a couple of places: - "People in present day Austria" doesn't entirely capture the headline either because it's immediately followed by a verb in the past tense, thus specifying something that happened in the past; - I don't think anyone ever refers to a place as 'present-day X' if they're talking about something that's happening now: "Where are you going?" "I'm going to present-day New York" Using 'present-day' as an adjective to me necessarily implies a discussion of some past event. Can you imagine anyone talking about Austrians who are alive today as "people living in present-day Austria"? Maybe this is why I'm a programmer and not an author...
