                  1732</date> (<date calendar=Julian
                  value='1732-2-22'>Feb. 11, 1731/32, O.S.</date>).
        This attribute is optional.
        value:  gives the value of the date in some standard form, usually
              yyyy-mm-dd.
        Data type:  CDATA
        Value:  Any string representing a date in standard format; recom-
              mended form is "yyyy-mm-dd", as defined by ISO 8601: 1988,

        Example:
                  This list begins in the year 1632, more precisely

                  in that year the <date calendar=Julian value=1632-6-6>
                  27th of May (old style)</date>.
        Remarks:  For simple dates, the value should give the Gregorian
              date in the form (yyyy-mm-dd) specified by ISO 8601.  More
              complicated dates or special applications may require
              another calendar or another form; these should be documented
              in the <stdVals> element in the TEI Header.
