Period defaults to W3C format.  Otherwise, since the scheme attribute is
not enumerated, the encoding is essentially uncontrolled.  Specifying
encoding="http://purl.org/dc/terms/Period" on a MODS date element would
then be equivalent to encoding="w3cdtf" or no encoding attribute at all.

        Oops, I really meant to say: How about dcterms:Period known by
the URI
http://purl.org/dc/terms/Period, but I think it still makes the "point".
