S S, Nice work and nicely documented. This certainly addresses a gap in date handling with formats similar to those used for new journal entries, I think it will suit many users.
It will take time for me to decide if I would adopt it on a regular basis because I have favored using the full tiddlywiki serial number to represent dates. For example my new journal process adds a journal-date field to enable more sophisticated search and selection of journal entries. However it is nice to know if I want to go down the alternative "simplified" dates path you have provided the means to do so. *A Suggestion:* Use a json bundle to pack the macro and move everything that is displayed in the "date Macro" tiddler to another tiddler. The reason I say this is the act of adding the $:/tags/Macro tag will include the whole tiddler (Although not visible) every time a tiddler is displayed, it is like the importvariables process see https://tiddlywiki.com/#ImportVariablesWidget. Sure it seems to have no clear impact in a small wiki but it is not the optimum design approach. If you still want the documentation displayed when opening "date Macro" you can do a little test, if currentTiddler="date Macro" transclude the doco tiddler, otherwise do not.
