Aha. If that date could be put into the generated XML file here:

http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc-index.xml

Then it's a <1 hour job to fix it in the Datatracker end. The XML file
already says

        <date>
            <month>March</month>
            <year>2011</year>
        </date>

so a <day>29</day> would fit the purpose nicely. Would it be feasible
to do this in a not too distant timeframe?
