Many binary formats include something along the lines of a creation date or a modification date. These dates can be under various names for various file formats. In order to support various queries and range indexes on this metadata, normalizing these dates into xs:dateTime values would be required.

To do so, the current plan is to attempt to parse the value of any piece of metadata that has `date` or `time` in its name. The parsing can be accomplished via the date parser that's already in use. New formats can easily be added if need be.
