The schema uses XML date data type. "YYYY-MM-DD" We will need to be sure to document that in the human-readable documentation. It was a pet peeve of mine that the USDA document specified one form in the schema and another in the text.

7/16 call - agreement that where we are going to use a date, we should use xs:date and not roll our own data type. If we encounter a scenario where there is a need for a less precise date we will revisit this topic.
