Absolutely a pet peeve of mine. What's wrong with (orig. pub. 1950, rev. ed. 2009) or something like that. With Zotero, the ref manager I use, you need to know the special magic incantation to store the original date of publication (the publishing date refers to the edition you're citing) but it just looks stupid (I think) to see Nietzsche F. 1999, Untimely Meditations (or whatever) and also I'd like to sort texts by original date of publication from oldest to newest because that's interesting. You have to put a special magic code in the extra field and then your tool-chain has to preserve it and transmogrify it correctly in the doc you're making use of the citation.
