I entered the following on June 1, 2010. Here is a date entered as "3/15": <2011-03-15 Tue>. It interpreted it as the upcoming March 15 as expected. But here is a date entered as "5/21": <2021-06-05 Sat>. Note how it interpreted the "21" as the year 2021, not at all what I expected from the documentation or the analogous "3/15" example. Maybe there is some underlying logic here that I'm not getting. Perhaps it has to do with how 2-digit years are interpreted? What's going on here? I am using org-version 6.36trans on emacs 23.1.
