Yes, there is little benefit in using 'August 14', the main benefit is being able to specify relative time in a format that isn't painful. I don't see any particular harm in supporting 'August 14' style dates, etc., but if it's that big a deal, we could remove support for them (seems kind of absurd to me, though) >If you want already-available code.
