Previous DTD Relationship. In the contentItem DTD, the publication date <publicationDate> was a text model with the possibility of named elements such as <year> within it.
In this DTD, the <pub-date> element has element-only content, and may contain either of the elements <year> or <string-date>. APA's preference is to use the <string-date> element, which is a text model with the possibility of named elements such as <year> within it. For example:
<publicationDate><month number="7">July</month> <day>10</day>, <year>2009</year></publicationDate>
will now be tagged as a doubly wrapped
<pub-date><string-date><month number="7">July</month> <day>10</day>, <year>2009</year></string-date></pub-date>
(year | string-date)
