50 years from now ... sure ... the problem with 2 digit years is well 
known and has been for more than 15 years. So this is simply a bad data 
fix up which has essentially no risk of a bad outcome. In the case where 
the recipient knows of a bad potential outcome for the wrong 
interpretation, such a date should be rejected ... (I don't feel a need to
say this in the spec).
