Toby,

Thanks for investigating this and documenting it. Could you add your research and answers to the hCard FAQ?

With Microformats, dates are in ISO 8601 format. ISO 8601 already  
allows for years without months or days. e.g.

	<span class="bday">1980</span>

And indeed with years and months, but no days:

	<span class="bday">1980-06</span>

Most microformat parsers already support these, so no need to go  
inventing some non-ISO format. ISO 8601 also offers a way of  
specifying months and days without a year:

	<span class="bday">--06-01</span>

Though this doesn't have such wide support.
