Simplify cs:updated because hours/minutes/seconds are not relevant #129

Closed cormacrelf closed 4 years ago

cormacrelf commented 4 years ago

It's a small pain point but the format allowed in cs:updated is an xsd:dateTime when it should probably have been an xsd:date. One shouldn't have to look up xsd:dateTime and type in a bunch of zeroes and colons in the right order to make CSL validate. For a field that really, really does not need timestamp precision.

Simple solution: allow either. Then people can update with 2020-05-19, much more human friendly.
