5869	Incorrect description for the NOW format string's 'r' flag	xavier.morel@…	nobody	"In the [http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/templates/ Templates documentation], the Now tag's format character `n` is indicated as creating a ''RFC 822 formatted date.'', but the example output `'Thu, 21 Dec 2000 16:01:07 +0200'` is an RFC 2822 date format:

[http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc822#section-5 RFC 822 section 5.1] defines `date` as 
{{{
     date        =  1*2DIGIT month 2DIGIT        ; day month year
                                                 ;  e.g. 20 Jun 82
}}}
which only has 2-digits year notation.

On the other hand, [http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2822#section-3.3 RFC 2822 section 3.3] defines `date` as
{{{
date            =       day month year

year            =       4*DIGIT / obs-year

month           =       (FWS month-name FWS) / obs-month

month-name      =       ""Jan"" / ""Feb"" / ""Mar"" / ""Apr"" /
                        ""May"" / ""Jun"" / ""Jul"" / ""Aug"" /
                        ""Sep"" / ""Oct"" / ""Nov"" / ""Dec""

day             =       ([FWS] 1*2DIGIT) / obs-day
}}}
with `year` being either 4 digits or 2 digits (`obs-year` refers to RFC 822 year formatting)"		closed	Documentation	dev		fixed			Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
