I'm about to write a DTD for Numismatics (coin-collecting) and wonder if
there is a standard for dates (years) BC and AD. like age of an emperor:
10BC-AD15
and if unsecure date, how do i do that? my own solution is kind of like for
10?BC-AD10:
<date>
<post type="unsecure" time="BC">10</post>
<pre type="secure" time="AD">10</pre>
</date>
i don't want them in just a string <date>10?BC-AD10</date> since I need to
be able to make date-manipulations.
very grateful for any tips
