[osis-core] change in publisher attributes

[Chris Little]

Steve's suggestion sounds good to me.

As a use case (CCEL should have plenty of concrete examples), consider a 
book originally published by one publisher, who goes out of business. 
The book is reprinted by a second publisher, and that edition is encoded 
electronically and published by an electronic publisher.

There we've got three publishers, each with an associated publishing date.
