Of the former two, only one passes the range check, so it shouldn't be a
great deal. 2007/12 was the original thought and I find that more
natural than the other order. I would disadvertise is in preference of
2007-12. Of course, many cal implementation behave stupidly like ours
did before, so it should not be assuemd to be portable.
