https://github.com/FamilySearch/GEDCOM/actions/runs/9044561163 failure
reports: "The workflow is not valid.
.github/workflows/propagate-main-to-v7.1.yml (Line: 18, Col: 3): The
identifier 'merge-to-v7.1' is invalid. IDs may only contain alphanumeric
characters, '_', and '-'. IDs must start with a letter or '_' and and
must be less than 100 characters."

This PR therefore removes the '.' that is causing the failure.

* Define "principle date" (#492)

* Define "principle date"

As pointed out in #488 and #490, the definition of DATE includes the vague phrase "principle date" which could use some clarification. This is my effort to provide that clarification.

Note, if competing definitions of the principle date in these contexts exists then this suggestion could be seen as backwards-incompatible and may need to be reworded as a non-normative recommendation or note. That said, I'm not aware of any conflicting definitions.

* Clarify nickname

Add additional clarification to nickname, explaining the word's meaning in English which is not shared by several European countries. See [this comment](#473 (comment)) and the rest of issue #473 for more on why this clarification is needed.

Although #473's discussion covers many more topics, if we go back to the title and first question in the issue I think this resolves #473.
