OK. Great. I'm reminded of the line about Abe Lincoln, when he was asked the question, "How many legs has a dog, if you count its tail as a leg?" He said, "Four. Just because you call a tail a leg doesn't make it one." I want to make sure we don't run into that problem when we talk about calculations involving intermediate steps where we have dates like "February 30th". Maybe call it "ill-formed"? -Rob
