The other one that I find jarring is putting a zero in front of the year.

I down vote it every time I see it.

You're going to look silly in 8000 years!

Why would they look silly?

We don't refer to the year 700 as 0700. Tt'll be perfectly natural in 8000 years to see "10025" for the year.

But it will be very marginally more challenging to correctly sort string representations of years!
