At least for Kenya I can say that they practically always write
the day before the month.

They do sometimes use slashes, but they also use periods.

Generally speaking, it makes sense to write the day-month-year
sequence or the year-month-day sequence, but something like
month-day-year is rather illogical. Still, if it is used, we
have to cater to it.

With those, could you try
<URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/js-datex.htm#Auto>, where the
question is whether the computed yellow column agrees with that headed
"IE 6/7/8"? If line #3 differs, see also the following section "Values
from getYear()".

Does <URL:http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/$lag-pts.htm> fail nicely?

The difference between IE6/7/8 and 9 is in these fields:

!!new Date().toISOString // was false, now true
toISOString() (see source) // was false, now 12345-06-07T11:22:33.000Z
(0.007).toFixed(2) // was 0, now 1
(0.5).toFixed(0) // was 0, now 1

So besides ES5 `Date.prototype.toISOString`, we finally have compliant
`Number.prototype.toFixed`.

Preview doesn't support canvas, although IIRC, IE team claims that work
is being done in that area.

I guess Dojo and the like will have to rewrite their UA sniffing that
forks for SVG, VML, Canvas, etc. What a pity for their users. :)
