We have never implemented lists of dates, and it is another thing that 
no-one has asked for. But on this one, it seems to me that it would be 
more consistent to actually add it. What do others think? One thing to 
keep in mind is that literal dates are very unlikely to turn up in 
clinical archetypes - they never have so far. All date/time constraining 
is done via the patterns, which in the AOM corresponds to those boolean 
flags you see.
