However, I do think it is a big deal if a state has a lax procedure for securing its official documents, including layouts, formats, etc. They need a better change control process if new terminology can make its way to a form without being defined somewhere for reference, otherwise, what are the recipients to make of it? How is a registrar in another state (or someone utilizing the document as evidence supposed to interpret the same form with different wordings, without a reference to guide them?

There's a name for what you're doing: it's called making a mountain out of a molehill.
To any reasonable person, the interpretation of "date accepted" and "date filed" is perfectly obvious and the difference without subtance.
I seriously doubt anyone outside the birther movement cares about the discrepancy.
