DOCDATE

   (i.e. document date)
  Description:  contains the date of a document, as given (usually) on a
        title page.
  Attributes:
        value:  gives the value of the date in a standard form.
        Data type:  %ISO-date
        Value:  Any string representing a date in standard format; recom-
              mended form is "yyyy-mm-dd".
        Default value:  #IMPLIED
        Example:
                  This list begins in the year 1632, more precisely
                  on Trinity Sunday, i.e. the Sunday after Pentecost,
                  in that year the <date type=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 <std.vals> element in the TEI Header.
        This attribute is optional.
  Example:
             <docImprint>Oxford, Clarendon Press, <docDate>1987</></docImprint>
  Remarks:  Cf. the general <date> element in the core tag set.  This spe-
        cialized element is provided for convenience in marking and pro-
        cessing the date of the documents, since it is likely to require
        specialized handling for many applications.
