Ken,

this is very nice and impressive coding example.

The very Cocoa method doesn't parse expression #13 (here). The 
remaining results appear correct but they are _not_ returned in the 
(German) date format specified in my OS X International System 
Preferences but in a common US date format: month/day/shortyear.

Thanks for sharing the results of your efforts
