Here are some points to think about.
- Only ancient software, namely Netscape 2 and 3, cannot
handle the 4-digit format. Everything past that is capable
of doing so.
- Netscape 4 has been released at least four years ago. Even
the most conservative companies have switched to it or a
later version until now.
- I have not seen any Netscape 2 or 3 hits in my analyzer's
output for a long time -- have you?
- New software will automatically use the 4-digit format --
there is basically no way to be unaware of the y2k date
presentation problem. Since Netscape's spec does not
mention Y2k issues and because it does not describe the
windowing workaround, newly released software will
frequently implement the 2-digit format incorrect.
Requiescat in pace, 2-digit format.
