What I wrote about the DC.LANGUAGE element applies also to the DC.DATE
element. The DC/Z39.50 mapping should not assume that ANSI X3.30 is the
default scheme, as ISO 8601 is more appropriate. It is an international
standard and it supports time as well as date.
As in the case of other elements, the SCHEME qualifier will enable the
unambiguous use of schemes based on national or community standards.
