Eh, you went too fast. First you explained that there are testimonies that 
already in the 12th and 13th centuries, people didn't wear tallit, resp. 
tefillin, all day. Then, suddenly, without quoting any new material, you 
state that " Spain and Ashkenaz were divided about whether to wear tefillin 
on Hol HaMoed."

Did I miss a beat?
