Test for date parts

See original GitHub issue

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Several styles call for different date formatting depending on whether a date is year-only or has various more specific parts.

Describe the solution you’d like CSLm has a solution by adding three condition attributes for if that test how specific a date variable is (see here):

has-year-only
has-to-month-or-season (has month or season, but no day)
has-day

I think we should adopt these attributes.

Okay, let’s go with:

has-day
missing-day
year-only

space-separated list: Anything we’re missing with that?

Two issues. First, how do you specify which date variable is being tested? Second, it makes for awkward tests I think because the test is usually for what’s missing, so it would have be to have match="none", which would make it hard to combine with other conditions.

That’s date-precision="year" match="none"
