Someone in the tutorial noticed that we use 'type' inconsistently on <date>.

In work, we document type as being one of first publication, source 
publication, source printing/imprint, and revdate of the electronic 
edition.

But, we also have used type 0on date for chinese/gregorian etc.

Uhhhhhh.....

I guess the basic solutions are:

use 'role' for the former values
    (let's say 'firstpub, sourcepub, imprint, and revision)

leaving 'type' for the calendar systems.

sound ok?
