<docDate>
also needs a @calendar
attribute. It needs to move to the new att.calendarSystem
Example: All early modern books have a year (if they have a date at all). If you want to be able to process any data from encoded title pages, you would need a @notBefore

date in order to capture the period between March 25 YYYY and March 24 YYYY+1. You also need to be able to capture the @calendar
used in the text node (e.g., Julian).

In reviewing #2045, @ebeshero, @trishaoconnor, and I were surprised by (and thankful for) @martindholmes ' comment that
<docDate>

and is not part ofatt.datable
. This seems like an error that can be fairly easily resolved.
