Agreed.  That is also what my dictionary tells me.  And the Emacs manual
says the same:

|      %%(diary-anniversary 10 31 1988) Arthur's birthday
| 
| This entry applies to October 31 in any year after 1988; 

But still I would expect to see Arthur's actual birthday marked in the
calendar.

Best,
Ulf
