            Bug ID: 11046
           Summary: keeping uncertain or range dates in publicationyear
                    and copyright date

In C4:Biblio::TransformMarcToKoha, publicationyear and copyrightdate are filled
from MARC dates.
MARC dates could be uncertain. like "200X", "2012?", "ca. 2012".
If there is a "X" or a blank, the date is not copied in database.
Maybe this could be fixed. But in that case, publicationyear and copyrightdate
will sometimes contain non numerical data. Maybe that's an issue?

Sometime MARC dates are a range, like "2010-2013". In that case, Koha is
currently using only the first one. Why not both?

Last remark : In UNIMARC, I don't know the difference between publicationyear
and copyrightdate. Is it obvious for MARC21 people ?
