Regarding some RISKS postings that bear not so standard Dates, causing
some browsing systems to read them as Jan 1 1970, etc.,

Well, we could pump all dates thru the very tolerant date --rfc-2822 -f
to standardize them, but that would lose the colorful original
timezone flavor.
We could write a regexp to see if they match RFC 2822, etc. A web
search shows some "date validator" matches...
I know, let's forget the issue, but suggest to (CC'd) coreutils that
they add a date --validate or --check functionality, like sort --check.
