I also have the problem with dates of editions. I always cite the
one I use, which is typically a recent one. But sometimes I need
my bibliography to give either an original date, of which my
edition is a reprint, or an original publication year. (E.g.,
if I'm citing a text from the 16th century, the original publication
date can be important to my argument. So the bibliography entry
would give that pub. year.)

I keep a date called "Original pub/written" in Custom 3. This is
a date that would normally go after the title in a Chicago A
bibliography. But a reprint is a different case. I put reprint
years in Custom 1. Reprint years are formatted with the publisher
data.  Thus one might easily have all three dates: the date of
the actual edition cited; the date of the original for that
edition (if it's a reprint); and finally the date of the actual
first published edition (not a reprint).  The Chicago manual
of style is (strangely) silent on the question of listing the
date of original publication.

I also use the "Original pub/written" (Custom 3) field for the
date of first publication in the original language.

Thus you might get something like this:

	Foucault, Michel. The History of Sexuality: An
	Introduction. 1976. Translated by Robert Hurley, vol. 1.
	1978; reprint, New York: Vintage Books, 1990.

I suppose that in some social sciences the in-text version
of this would be Foucault (1990 [1976])?

There should probably be standard fields for these dates in
the supplied EndNote structure so that the data is in the
same place, should people want to trade bibliographies.

What is a "Chicago A" bibliography?  I take it that it is different 
from the Chicago style that comes with EN+.  (If it makes a 
difference, I use EN+ on a Mac.)

Lots of good ideas!  Thanks!  So, your style has this in it:  

Custom 1;*reprint,

where the "*" denotes a non-breaking space?

Could EN+ add disambiguating letters to this?  Anyone know?  Avi?

I agree.
