My worry is that this change appears to have absolutely no positive aspects and only negative potential. We know browsers exist that cannot handle 4-digit years. Early WebTV boxes don't, early Netscape don't. We do not know of any browsers that cannot handle 2-digit years. Hence I fail to see the upside with this change. Your reasoning is that somebody will at some point write a browser that can't handle 2-digit years and thus we should risk breaking existing apps for a small percentage of users. I think we should worry about this when such a browser actually surfaces. -Rasmus
