[osis-core] date format

[Patrick Durusau]

Greetings!

Doing serious work on the date format section.

Note that unlike the drafts of the users manual, the prefix for the data 
format now uses a period '.' to avoid conflict with the work prefix from 
a work element.

Todd has requested, monthly.n (to show the day of the month), and 
yearly.n (to show a day of the year).

Note that the current yearly date format: yearly.yyyy.mm.ddThh.mm.ss

can show:

yearly.2004.12.25T06.06.07

or

yearly.12.25 (to show Christmas Day for every year)

but does not have a mechanism to specify a date, such as the 300th day 
of the year.

Same lack noted for monthly.

Would suggest something like:

day.nnn and weekly.n (we already use yearly.

Comments, suggestions?

Hope everyone is having a great day!

Patrick
