...or the Mayan calendar...

Now that we have established that this is an issue, and can become an issue
of data loss, can we hope that the Entourage team will use the 'long format'
in a future update, so that this can be dealt with quite pro-actively?

Such a change should not require any of the previously outlined (in the IE
list) bureaucratic changes to documentation and localization (as it would be
transparent, I'd think), so the implementation should be quite possible,
right?
