Description

ISO 8601 allows shortened date formats:
just a year:
```
YYYY
±?Y+YYYY
```
and year and month:
```
YYYY-MM
(possibly also ±?Y+YYYY-MM)
```

The way I read the current spec for IfcDate, these shortened date formats are not allowed.

Is that correct?

Start by reading the current IfcDate specification and the referenced ISO 8601 shortened-date rules, then compare the permitted grammar with the examples in the issue. Done means the specification's allowance or prohibition of YYYY and YYYY-MM formats is resolved and documented clearly.
