Hmmm: I'm ALWAYS making mistakes with entering data against a schema that
arbitrarily requires date before author, when somehow author before date
seems more natural. (And yes, I do use tools that prompt me, but I can never
remember to stop typing and wait for the prompt).

I know why the technology has this restriction, but I think trying to
promote it as a benefit is stretching a point!
