But if you look at the kinds of malformed dates that are out there, most are not malformed because the programmer tried to use some legal variant of the date syntax and failed to get it right - they're malformed because the programmer failed to even try to get it right.

True. But IMO, if the syntax were simple, strict and understandable to the average programmer, this probably wouldn't happen.
