I get all that, thanks for the great explanation.
I imagine most of my problems can be solved with a custom field
analyzer (converting other date strings to 8601 during indexing) and
then XSL on the select?q= end (which we do anyway.) In other words,
leaving core solr absolute with an option for different date
analyzers. I see the need to not clutter it up, especially at this
stage.
What would, say, a filter that converted unix timestamps to 8601
before indexing as a solr.DateField look like? Is that a custom
filter, or a tokenizer?
