That's neat. But if you're going to write your own date parser that may need to handle 2-digit years, I'd suggest this refinement: an extra parameter that indicates whether the date is expected to be in the future or the past. If asking the user for their birthday, for example, you'd specify past; if asking for the date of their next gala bash, assume future. Then, when somebody puts in 10/29/71, you won't need any extra steps to avoid making the silly assumption that they'll be born in 2071.
