I was a little confused by the exclusion of 02-29-2013 as well. The mechanism for formating the data is a "Magic Word". I wouldn't go futzing with it even if we had access. My guess is that it's C code or JS based and actually compiled into the Wikia server. I'm not sure there's enough tools available to write our own parser to make this work.

Side note: I prefer the 29 Feb 2013 format as well.
