[osis-core] date format

[Todd Tillinghast]

Patrick,

Why not:
<osisText osisIDRef="dailyDevotional">
   <work osisWork="dailyDevotional">
      <title>Daily Devotional</title>
      <identifier
type="OSIS">Devotional.en.XYZ.DailyDevotional.2004</identifier>
      <refSystem>weeklySystem</refSystem>
   <work>
   <work osisWork="weeklySystem">
      <title>Daily System of Identifiers</title>
      <!-- Where this is an OSIS declared identifier -->
      <identifier type="OSIS">ReferenceSystem._.OSIS.Weekly</identifier>

   <work>
   <div osisID="dailyDevotional:5">
      ...
   </div>
</osisText>

Also ReferenceSystem._.OSIS.Yearly, ReferenceSystem._.OSIS.Monthly,
ReferenceSystem._.OSIS.Day.

I would also like to see ReferenceSystem._.OSIS.Frame and
ReferenceSystem._.OSIS.Millisecond for annotations of media works.

Todd
