Regarding cases 2 and 3: Can anything be done for those? PHP's DateTime
constructor might have made nonsensical (for us)  design choices, but does it
mean we are stuck with them forever?

Cases 4 should be handled or labeled as "Error: invalid time". Case 5 is
invalid date and should also return error. Both cases should not return valid
looking nonsense dates, since those are very hard to spot as errors and
correct. So support in this case means recognize as nonsensical and report the
fact.

As for language support I thought (based on
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:ParserFunctions#.23time) that
month names can be displayed in the "site language", so there is support for
all the languages of wikipedias using this function. Under this assumption I
thought that the capability to choose language should not be hardwired but
passed as an optional parameter. I might be building house of cards here based
on possibly incorrect documentation.
