Well, yes, technically possible …
And probably the road I'll take--thanks for the hint.

Nevertheless my feeling is that the 2012 <creation> will better fit as a structural container for simply *the* date (and place) of creation rather than a "narrative form"--which goes one level up.

Many thanks again
Peter

While the description for <creation> says it should be in "narrative form" I can't imagine why the content model should be that strict?!
