The script sets the date format for an rpm @date to "%a %b %d %Y", and
the date format for a doc @date as above.  I don't really mind if we use
the same thing for both, but it would be really cool if, whatever we
use, we could figure out a way of checking sanity on it.  (On the other
hand, that may only be a problem for rpm-info files that are created
right now from the doc revisionhistory elements, since new ones, where
the maintainers use "make clog", will simply Work Right.)  If you'd like
to change this to have them all work the same, I'm OK with that; DocBook
doesn't dictate a date format so it all comes out in the wash.
