Regularize normalized dates #8

Closed seanredmond closed 6 years ago

There a several elements that are or can have dates. At least: registration date (see #6), copies, and affDate.

The proposal is to markup the number of copies as

<copies date=”1951-05-03”>2c</copies>

and affDate like so

<affDate>1930-01-04</affDate>

So for on it might be the regdate attribute, for another the date attribute, and for yet another the contents of the affDate tag. Can there be one attribute that always represents the normalized date on whatever tag?
