Because the century for 0001 is not the same as the century for 2001
or 1901, which is the range *MDY supports based on the window.  We
could ask for a *LOVAL attribute to be added to date fields to be able
to discriminate between dates that are genuinely *LOVAL and dates
which are actually typed in as 0001-01-01, as might happen if one uses
0001-01-01 to mean something 'special' like 'cancel date not
assigned.'  You know, for those cases where the existing database
doesn't support NULL.
