    For contested dates that are clearly refering to the same `event` I see the point for having a series of different dating assertions without thinking of these as different related events refering to the same concept…
    For person, there’s multiple dates allowed in birth/death (which are special cases for event).

  2. @gvogeler following up on this: The other entity elements (person, place, org etc) do not allow a parentless `date` either. The only kind-of-exception is `birth` and `death`, which are syntactic sugar/special cases of `event`.
    The takeaway is that having a `date` without a mandatory `@type` (or other means of specifying the relation between a `date` and its parent element) would result in ambiguities. To sum up, I think the current solution is not that bad. #TEIXML #eventmarkup
