I agree that it's ugly, but I think that it's still better than
having, in the storage format, numeric serial values that can be
easily misinterpreted by one day for all days before March 1, 1900.

But with regard to the Strict format, I quite agree, the value
"1900-02-29", and this entire kind of ugliness definitely should
not be allowed there.

Best regards,
