Found no explicit statement.
But in the exmaple at the end of
http://docbook.org/tdg/en/html/article.html
a <pubdate> is plain 4-digit year,
and <date> is something strange.
> Are there other date formats?
AFAIK DocBook does not cover formatting of dates,
times or page numbers. Even the contents of <revnumber>
is completely undefined. To me the name seems to mean
a integer > 0. But the LDP-Author guide puts a version
number there, e.g "1.0".
(My contribution to obfuscation is to have fortunes as
revision numbers, i.e. digit-free english sentence.)
