I asked this question awhile ago for a BCE to CE inclusive date range and the answer in 2011 was: <unitdate type="inclusive" label="Dates:" encodinganalog="245$f" normal="-2000/2010" era="bce-ce" calendar="gregorian">2000 BCE-2010 CE</unitdate> If that helps. I could also forward you the entire email exchange.
