Wow! I never thought I'd start a long thread with an April 1 posting making
fun of Java and Beenz!
FWIW, we might get away with writing the year in two digits now, but that's
going to get REALLY confusing starting in 2001. The date 01/02/03 can be
interpreted at least three different ways: D/M/Y, M/D/Y, Y/M/D. The ISO
standard specifies 2000-04-01, but I think 2000-April-01 or 2000-Apr-01 is
just as unambiguous and easier to read.
