We have the <prev-regNum> element for AI0-370 in this entry, but no specific way to encode the explanation and date "Application states prev. pub. abroad 15Feb50"

It seems like a good idea to capture this. I would propose something like

<prevReg>
    Application states prev. pub. abroad 
    <regDate date="1950-02-15">15Feb50</regDate>,
    <regNum>AI0-370</regNum>
</prevReg>
