Maybe your "PublishedDate" is xs:date, since "yyyy-MM-dd" pattern
is used only for xs:date type. If the type is xs:dateTime, then
XmlConert.ToDateTime() will be used (and it allows many more
patterns). If it is allowed in MS.NET, maybe attached patch will
fix it.

Lluis: maybe you can check the patch sanity?
