Good questions, to which I'll add another:
If you were born on 29 Feb 2000, when did your next
birthday occur?
Given the irregularities in the current calendar scheme, I guess
I'd have to wonder about the purpose of the calculation before
forming opinions re date arithmetic including/surrounding leap
days.
