I thought it could've been something like that too. I tried Googling it a few
different ways but couldn't find anything about it. But if that's the reason,
why doesn't CF5 or JavaScript recognize it?
It's just one of those things where an odd problem might crop up because of the
consistency. Unlikely, I guess, but I'd still rather not have to worry about
how dates are being handled...
