Hi Mark, sorry, but I wasn't able to answer to your mail earlier. I think we should *reserve* Identifiers much earlier, show the reserved Identifiers during the submission and *register* identifiers when the Item gets installed. This would give submitters a change to write the Identifiers into the Bitstreams they submit. I created DS-1705 for this a while ago. In the terminology of DataCite "reserving" means sending metadata, so this should probably be done *after* the metadata step but before we have a dc.date.available (which obvious is the link to your question). If this is a big problem, perhaps it would be sufficient to *mint* Identifiers during submission and reserver and register them later. This may also become part of the exception handling as it would be possible to write a curation task listing all finished Items with minted/reserved but unregistered Identifiers...
