Um... depends, look at the surrounding text in this test case:

http://microformats.org/wiki/value-excerption-value-title-test#hCard.231:_An_hCard_bday

it's a birthday, so last year, this year, and every year thereafter. ;)

It would certainly be nice if people were to learn to write "human"
dates more clearly!

I agree with this general point, though the way to write dates most clearly in English is "9 February 2009" (or, somewhat worse, February 9th 2009) not any machine-readable readable syntax.
