I'd like to note that there were infact a techincal solution implemented a while ago using templates. I believe you posted {{adce|2006}}, and it would pick the right one after how you had configured your CSS.

Did this thread start with an announcement that a technical solution was forthcoming or am I on crack?
You are not on crack (actually, how the hell do I know, you might be), I'm just saying that at one point, there were indeed another technical solution.
As an aside I was not arguing that your points were flawed. I was just saying that both alternatives are legitimately objectionable, and I reject the notion that one of more so than the other.
You are indeed correct, this is hard to argue with.
We do this with date formatting and ISBN numbers you would think it would not be that hard (though I think you would have to wikify them all). See now I have to go back and re-read the start of the thread.
