Wanted change/feature

In EAD2002, the use of element <date> with attributes may occur within change, chronitem, creation, entry, event, extref, extrefloc, imprint, item, label, legalstatus, p, physdesc, physfacet, publicationstmt, ref, refloc, subtitle, title, titlepage, titleproper, unittitle.

French archivists use the element <date> on a regular basis inside <physdesc>, and <p> tag (within <acqinfo>, <bioghist> and <custodhist>) to structure the data.

Suggested Solution

Authorize an element <date> in <physDescStructured> and <p> with at least the attribute @standardDate and a new attribute, @dateType.
