 In the [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/ Templates
 documentation], the Now tag's format character `n` is indicated as
 creating a ''RFC 822 formatted date.'', but the example output `'Thu, 21
 Dec 2000 16:01:07 +0200'` is an RFC 2822 date format:

 [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822#section-5 RFC 822 section 5.1] defines
 `date` as
 {{{
      date        =  1*2DIGIT month 2DIGIT        ; day month year
                                                  ;  e.g. 20 Jun 82
 }}}
 which only has 2-digits year notation.

 On the other hand, [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.3 RFC
 2822 section 3.3] defines `date` as
 {{{
 date            =       day month year

 year            =       4*DIGIT / obs-year

 month           =       (FWS month-name FWS) / obs-month

 month-name      =       "Jan" / "Feb" / "Mar" / "Apr" /
                         "May" / "Jun" / "Jul" / "Aug" /
                         "Sep" / "Oct" / "Nov" / "Dec"

 day             =       ([FWS] 1*2DIGIT) / obs-day
 }}}
 with `year` being either 4 digits or 2 digits (`obs-year` refers to RFC
 822 year formatting)
