Gregory P. Smith <g...@krypto.org> added the comment:

I _doubt_ there is code expecting the default year when unspecified to actually 
be 1900.

Change that default to any old year with a leap year (1904?) and it'll still 
(a) stand out as a special year that can be looked up should it wind up being 
_used_ as the year in code somewhere and (b) not fail every four years for 
people just parsing to extract Month + Day values.
