Usually either both dates are supplied or they are more or less clearly
marked "old style".  When a date in 1700-1918 is supplied without an
old/new style note, half the readers assume old style and half the new
style; this confusion is so common, that lack of a style note is a sure
sign that the date is not to be trusted (to the extent that it may be
wrong in either style).
