OK, I disappeared for a while there, but is it fair to summarize this thread
by saying that the two field names we have the best evidence for in terms of
usage on the actual web are 'date-published' and 'date-accessed'?

I've had my mind changed about my earlier position that using 'date'
would be better than 'date-published'. Vagueness of the data aside,
the majority of our examples show at least an intent of describing a
publication date, and I think we don't gain anything by making our
field name less specific.

Therefore, the schema will stay as-is on the wiki at
