I'm still waiting for someone to explain to me why this would be... given that month/day have always required two digits each (unless you go to a base 31 [at least] system, which would certainly surprise me, but is possible, I suppose), how 09/09/99 will EVER be represented as 9999 instead of 990909 or 090999 or simply 0909 is a mystery to me.
