According to what standard?
It seems `obvious' to me that a 2-digit year specification should use
a +-50 year window from the *current* date. Another possibility is to
look backwards in time 67 years, forward 33 years, since people live
more in the distant past than the distant future.
``Ah, yes... I remember, way back in '45, when the war was finally over...''
But I'm not seriously suggesting we implement that.
