I dunno, but keep in mind that many people in the world (myself included) 
prefer to express dates in the order day-month-year, so we have until May 
4 to figure something out. :-)

The international standard (ISO 8601) for date notation is YYYY-MM-DD
(see http://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mgk25/iso-time.html).  So, the magic time 
really should be 2006-05-04 03:02:01, in the wee hours of May 4.  I don't 
plan to be up to observe the occasion!
