You can achieve this today with profiling, I'm not sure whether there is
any need to standardize this behaviour. There are dozen of similar cases
and there is no direct support for them as well. I think that for EPUB
we can just document the following best practice:
<date condition="noepub"><?dbtimestamp?></date>
<date condition="epub"><?dbtimestamp format="Y-m-d"?></date>
Anyway, if you are producing EPUB and other targets it is very likely
that you are already using profiling.
