I understand. But its always seemed to me those old formats should

remain reverse compatible, so they've proably had to stick with what
they'd done. But in your case the whole timescale is new (wait, maybe
its old? :-) ) so its an opportunity to suggest adopting a more
sensible and modern lexicon.

Since the Gregorian dates appear only as comments they could be changed
easily. Perhaps we should show both forms. What do other people on
this list think should be done?

Not two! That just begs more confusion. My complaint that 8601 style is
not more widely adopted should not slow down your proposal - its a minor
point of style.
