Upgrade StorageSeparate Dates for Book and Section
One thing I have to deal with is collections of essays/file papers. I can do Book Section and then Editors - which is fine for quite a few of my course books - and I can cope with manually going through the biography if necessary, removing the words (ed), but what I do need are two dates.
For example, my current book from the OU was written in 2006 by the Course Team. It consists of a set of different file papers written at different times.
Example below:
Energy Users Research Association (1983) ‘The economics of insulation’, In The Course Team (ed.), T862 File Papers, Wakefield, The Open University
Should be:-
Energy Users Research Association (1983) ‘The economics of insulation’, In The Course Team (2006), T862 File Papers, Wakefield, The Open University
I would have though a 'Section Date' and 'Book Date' should be fairly easy to implement?
The OU style works absolutely fine, its just another date field is needed.

What is needed, then, is a way to indicate the original publication date. This is apparently still in the pipeline.
Original publication date would work though. I'd be happy to modify the XML in the citation format to drop this in as an extra field, and the 'Date' can remain as the publication date of the reader itself.
I'd suggest for the time being manually adding these data when you're done with the manuscript, and wait on the proper solution (search for 'hierarchical model' and you'll see the discussion).
