Ahh, my bad. That keeps the slash at the decimal point too. I must note that our date convention gets a bit higher resolution from just the day.
3/1 4:15:9.265 could be done. You'll have to wait until next year. Actually we can celebrate earlier in March with the same scheme. I hope we can avoid an international committee to set a new standard. In my view, any or all honoring the series are valid but I think we should require beginning from the beginning to make the options somewhat finite. And someone else already decided 3/14 was "pi day". Changing it now would be like redefining "talk like a pirate day" (http://www.talklikeapirate.com/).
