The syntax would need to allow linked and formatted dates, likely using some
bastardization of category and file linking syntax:

[[:April 1]] [[2009]]

Would link April 1 and format it, but leave 2009 unlinked.

[[:April 1]] [[:2009]]

Would link both the month/day and year, and format it.

[[April 1]] [[2009]]

Would format the date but generate no links.

Editors would need to force links using this colon syntax, but the delinking
(of which there are more dates that need to be delinked than there are dates
which need to keep their links) would be instantaneous and not require
thousands of bot edits. This also avoids edit wars over delinking. I'm still of
the opinion that it makes FAR more sense to fix Dynamic Dates than to abandon
it entirely.
