I believe the meta name needs to be one of the following in order to
take advantage of use_doc_date.

  date  dc.date  dc.date.created  dc.data.modified

There are also some restrictions on the date format that are dependent
upon the version of ht://Dig that you are using.

Finally, if you are using version 3.1.6 you might also need to patch the
code for proper date support.
