      date

      The date that the release (album) was issued, in the format YYYY-MM-DD.

      to

      date

      The date that the release (album) was issued, in the format YYYY-MM-DD, or YYYY-MM or YYYY if complete information is not available. [maybe something about missing year/month like ????-??-DD too]

      Same for originaldate too. The current documentation caused someone to be confused when trying to know how to parse Picard values, so this should probably be fixed.
