sounds reasonable to me although NumericString doesnt buy you much here
eg somebody can specify "YYYY MM DD" but not "YYYY-MM-DD" and since
theres no suitable standard syntax to use here maybe IA5 or Directory
String where you can be more flexible in terms of what you accept and
then parse according to formatting rules you intend to support.
