MediaWiki is uised on sites other than en.wp. Even if the poll indicates that
this functionality will never be used on the en wikipedia, it may well be
useful on other mediawiki sites. 

Of course, for many such sites, the original request of new syntax to
accomplish formatting *without* linking would be preferable, and i think
simpler to code, since detectign existing date formats would not be an issue.
