delimiter on a date wrapper doesn't work

Description

I believe this should work to put separators in. E.g.

<date variable="issued" prefix=" (" suffix=")." delimiter=" ">

<date-part name="month" form="long"/>
<date-part name="year"/>

</date>

Should put a space between the month and year. Doesn't seem to work in my tests.

Actually, it should add a delimiter between two separate dates, so if you have:

<date variable="issued accessed" prefix=" (" suffix=")." delimiter=", ">
    <date-part name="month" form="long"/>
    <date-part name="year"/>
</date>

then you'll get a comma between the two dates. This was done primarily for consistency with <names> and <text>, which also behave this way. A delimiter shouldn't really be necesary, since it should be safe to assume that any date with a day has a month and any date with a month has a year (and Zotero enforces this), so a prefix/suffix system should suffice.
