FYI: here are the reference entries I get from these:

   [I-D.draft-ietf-roll-rpl-07]
              Winter, T., Thubert, P., and R. Team, "RPL: IPv6 Routing
              Protocol for Low power and Lossy Networks", draft-ietf-
              roll-rpl-07 (work in progress), March 2010.

   [I-D.ietf-roll-rpl]
              Winter, T., Thubert, P., Brandt, A., Clausen, T., Hui, J.,
              Kelsey, R., Levis, P., Pister, K., Struik, R., and J.
              Vasseur, "RPL: IPv6 Routing Protocol for Low power and
              Lossy Networks", draft-ietf-roll-rpl-19 (work in
              progress), March 2011.

The date is a red herring.  Dates in RFC references are always Month-Year.
As was noted, adding a day doesn’t help with frequently respun I-Ds.
I think that’s why the draft number is in the bibxml.

(Well, “R. Team” for “ROLL Design Team" *is* a bit funny :-)
