That sounds like a good compromise.  Every time we've tried to impose
a single way to handle this sort of thing, we always seem to get bitten
by some special case (curse FTP and its unspecified listing output! :).
Letting the API user decide if he wants a looser "slop"-handling
interpretation of dates provides sufficient flexibility
for programmers to work around special cases without forcing the API
to be all-knowing.
