As someone who is firmly on the nested <unitdate> side, I have a question for the non-nesters. How do you deal with situations where the date is the only title (such as: the series is "Correspondence" and each file is a date range?
I did not think is was acceptable to leave the <unittitle> empty, so would you put the date in both places and use the stylesheet to sort out the redundancy?
Thanks,
Jaime

It is premature to share any decisions, but I encourage anyone interested to look at the alpha version of the new EAD schema which we intend to release this summer. At that point any changes regarding <unitdate> and <unittitle> will be present in the draft schema and in accompanying documentation and TS-EAD will be eager to receive feedback.
