I've not heard of that proposal. Wouldn't that just break all uses of {xy 
pa} when talking about the definitions of words? 

Besides, {me'o} still works, paralleling the use of strings for entry of 
ISO dates in programming languages. I just prefer {li} because

   - It's shorter
   - Dates and periods technically *are* numbers in a certain sense; 
   arithmetic can be performed on them, despite the fact that in some ways 
   they don't act like real-numbers, due to the varying length of months and 
   years.
