I just don't think there is a format like that. There is dd.mm.[yy]yy and apparently also yyyy.mm.dd, but without leading zeros in mm for the latter. Our date parser also takes "." for a space so that you don't need to quote a space ("1.day.ago"). I can see the logic behind parsing 2011.01 as January 2011, but it's a stretch from the existing formats: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calendar_date#Date_format > I'm currently nearing finals in school, so lack the time for an RFC > patch at the moment.
