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?

Research direction
No files or tests are mentioned. 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.
