Normalize regDate about catalog_of_copyright_entries_project HOT 2 CLOSED

I can see a couple of other options:

Make the normalized version an attribute of regDate

<regDate nomalized="1951-03-06">6Mar51</regDate>

Or, taking a cue from #5, make the normalized data an attribute of copyrightEntry

<copyrightEntry id=”GUID” regnum=”A53538” regdate="1951-03-06">

and either leaving the regDate element for the unnormalized version or just doing away with it.

In my experience attributes are easier to deal with in processing than tag contents, so making the normalized date an attribute will be a plus for later script writers.
