No, and I think the MUST-level requirement should be reduced to SHOULD for that reason. It is analogous to the situation with line folding. I just found that the semantics of two-digit dates are defined already in Part 1, Appendix A, which used to be RFC 2616 Section 19.3. That statement should be moved up to section 3.2 with the rest of date syntax and semantics. - Brian
