I'd be more interested to see if a more generalised PlanetDate module could be written. Perhaps outside of Earth we could do away with months and just stick to days (based on rotations, assuming the planet rotates) and years, with leap days added in between? And if the planet doesn't rotate, just count by hours and years (with hours having a logical separator at 10 or 100)?
