Is there any way to add subcategories to the date, as in:
date published (in non-electronic form, for example)
date transcribed
date released...?
I think this is especially important, as often electronic documents may
have several applicable dates to their creation/modification. And what
about a document that is constantly under various revisions?
Additionally, the specs still say that ANSI X3.30-1985 is to be used. What
about the ISO 8601 specs that were discussed in the list?
