Agreed; I expect date parsers to give me earliest-available value for a field if it's not specified, with the exception being the current year rather than 0 AD or whatever.

Javascript:

    new Date("Feb 2006")
    > Wed Feb 01 2006 00:00:00 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)
Ruby:

    require 'time'
    Time.parse "Feb 2006"
    => 2006-02-01 00:00:00 -0700
