Side note: one of the reasons I like having more fine-grained date flags 
is that I've occasionally wanted a "show in UTC time" or "show everything 
in *my* local time" option. Sometimes it's a bit hard to compare dates 
just because we show them as they were for the people who did them, not 
in any unified format ;)

I'm not sure how useful that really would end up being, but the whole 
approach of just having a "date mode" flag should at least make those 
kinds of things trivial if we ever really want it.
