Agreed.

There is an [unknown] place. There are examples of "recorded at 
[unknown] (SOMEDATE)", e.g. 
https://musicbrainz.org/recording/2ab221c5-304c-4245-8a4b-72fb678e783f 
as well as "recorded by [unknown] (SOMEDATE)", e.g. 
https://musicbrainz.org/recording/e1453d17-8aca-4cde-a79e-8fd17f3a46a7 
in the database. Both are seldom used, with the former being a bit more 
popular.

All in all, I don't think that this is a strong point against 
standardising on hanging the date on the place AR.
