Actually, that is the correct way to record it, but that date should not be 
used to determine precedence.  I became Baron of the Steppes on February 13, 
1988, but my precedence as Baron came from the creation of the barony in 
1975.  Ideally, the code should not use the current baron's elevation date 
to determine his or her precedence, but that date must be recorded in the 
OP.  For most (not me) that date will determine their precedence as a Court 
Baron/ess.
