If I understand correctly, we're talking about the CSL JSON format here,
correct? If so, I don't think it makes a lot of sense semantically to
supply dates as a complex string within the JSON format. JSON gives you all
the flexibility you need to supply date ranges, approximate dates,
date-times, time zones, whatever else you want to support. It's just a
matter of adding some more clearly defined and directly accessible
properties. Am I missing something here?
