I have not fully digested what Steve sent on dates, but I think that we
should do something that does not require a change to the regex. I
think the only thing that would require a change to the regex for osisID
(and osisRef) would be the use of ":" rather than "." to separate parts
of the identifier. I don't think we can use ":" as a separator because
we have already used it to separate the "prefix" from the rest of the
identifier and we can use "-" because it is already used for osisRef.
PROPOSAL:
1) Leave the regex the same for osisID and osisRef relative to a dates
related influence.
2) Adopt as much of the form provided by various standards mentioned in
Steve's email as make sense and use "." as a delimiter when a ":" or a
"-" is used.
3) Use the "T" character to separate HHMMSS information.
