In the Date Issued field, enter some EDTF-valid dates with "unspecified" values. Rendered results are misleading and not clear. Use the sample dates below.
Sample dates:
XXXX-XX-31: renders as "unspecified year and month in XXXX-31"
Month is lost altogether
Language is extremely unclear and confusing; should be "Day 31 in unspecified year and month" or similar
XXXX-12-XX: renders as "unspecified year and day in XXXX-12"
Again, language extremely unclear
Should be something like "Unspecified year and day in December" or "in month 12" depending on config
156X-12-25: renders as "unspecified year in 156X-12-25"
Awkward construction, doesn't quite make sense
2004-%06-11: renders as "2004-06-11 (month uncertain; month approximate)"
Only one of these uncertain or approximate tags is needed
202X: Renders as "unspecified year in 202X"
Ideally would render as "unspecified year in 2020s"
20XX: Renders as "unspecified decade in 20XX"
Ideally would render as "unspecified decade in 2000s"

Just put in a PR for this (#134), that I think addresses all the above concerns, except for the % one, which I think is actually correct. If you don't want uncertain AND approximate, you should use ? or ~ instead.
From the EDTF specs:
The characters '?', '~' and '%' are used to mean "uncertain", "approximate", and "uncertain" as well as "approximate", respectively.
