Tested as part of Schema Team's schema testing:

• @notBefore is an optional attribute in <date>, <fromDate>, and <toDate>
• Its data type is token, i.e. it allows for textual values including blanks and most special characters rather than being constrained to ISO 8601 dates only (which is necessary for the "otherDateEncoding" option)

The above applies to both schemas, RNG and XSD.

The attribute is ready.
