Description

Arff date field seems to be defined as follows:
@attribute DATE "date_specification"
without date specification, the weka arff parser defaults to to xml format "yyyy-MM-dd'T'HH:mm:ss"

Unfortunately, the openml php arff parser rejects the date field when the date specification is given. This (c/sh)ould be corrected.
