Good point. I wonder how we should handle dates like uuuu or 190u or 19uu.
Maybe it makes sense just to include definite completely numeric dates? Or
maybe do a label for uuuu like "Unknown" and change the u to a question mark
for other cases like 190? or 19??, perhaps?

I wrote a little TT plugin a while ago to change codes into nice labels for the
facets, which I think I mentioned to you, but the problem was that it had
hardcoded strings :/. 

Is there a way of maybe using the "language_descriptions" table to use
translated strings?

We would run into the same problem with a record type facet. 

Actually...with record type...we could probably use authorized values like we
have for item type and shelving location. I suppose that's not hardcoded but I
suppose that probably still presents translation issues. 

Any ideas?
