Target release:
When creating a Press Release, it asks for a Date. But when I create a collection (e.g., for a portlet) it lists the date the PR was created (e.g., now), not the date given to the PR. This means I can't use standard collection portlet to display these properly.

It also means -- I think -- that if I create a PR with a date in the future, it won't be embargoed until that date, since it's not setting the actual dublic core Effective Date.

So instead of storing the PR date in its own attribute, shouldn't it store into the DC Effective Date?

Steps to reproduce:
Create a PR, set the Date to be (say) a week ago. Create a portlet with a collection of Press Release and show dates.
