Hi Leonard,

I picked up the optimized term, erroneously it seems, from the source
code of other applications. I will make the change so that optimized
reads linearized from now on.

The reason for treating dates as strings was to do the actual
reformatting in the application itself (Evince) so that we could provide
that function to other areas that could possibly require it. It's not
the best reasoning in the world, so I am open to other suggestions.

Thank you for taking the time to review the patch.
