A date defined by a start and end
that can be used by search engines without the ambiguity of the ISO 8601 date
type. ISO
8601 allows for June 2010 which is left up to search engines to decide if it
should match
searches for June 15 2010 or not. Different engines/developers have implemented
this
differently. Some map this to June 1 2010 some believe this is a special case
that does
not match ANY date in June since it is the entire month. This type clearly defines
that
the date is between EarliestStartDate and LatestEndDate. For the June 2010 example
assuming the intent was to have search engines match on any date in June encoding
this
with the SearchAbleDate EarliestStartDate="2010-06-01" and LatestEndDate="2010-06-30"
will
result in search engines returning this record for any date in June of 2010.
