Can I get a definitive explanation of the difference between "date" in
the part element, and "dateIssued" in originInfo?

I understand that if I have a monograph, I use the former.  Where I get
confused is with, well, parts.  Is it fair to say that for all parts
the date element would be used, but not dateIssued?

Am trying to figure out how to format (and therefore also code) basic
stuff like book chapters and newspaper and journal articles...
