I think that approach is fine.

You might want to say exactly that. For example:

   Description:  iCalendar "DATE" property values are represented by the
      IC:date XML element.  The content of the element is the same date
      value specified by [RFC5545], with the exception that the date
      components are separated by "-" characters for consistency with
      [W3C.REC-xmlschema-2-20041028].
