Not supported? Should this be removed?

[cbeer]

Stanford doesn't have any examples of this, but it's called out as one of the supported MODS formats. I figured a comment was the best way to leave a clue about where one might add support if they cared. 🤷‍♂️

[drh-stanford]

Nice work. My only comment is that the cleanup functions are using the same/similar regular expressions as your big case statement for routing to the appropriate Date class. So those might be shared with a comment containing an example of that format.

@drh-stanford: how about 278ea0b?

[drh-stanford]

Yes, I find that more readable. Thanks
