Why can't new standards use 4-digit years? Is character-for-character
compliance with outdated standards really necessary? Why is there a
reluctance to move away from 2-digit years?

(personally, I'd even go a step further than that and use ISO dates
like 1994-03-10, but that's not quite as human friendly, but great for
sorting :-)
