Preliminary comments:

1. It's "millennuim" (singular), "millennia" (plural).  Two 'n's.  Not 
"millenia".  And why no CENTURY?

2. What is UDT?

3. I think you should leave out the "3/10/06" format because of the 
inherent ambiguity.  And in English, the third month is called March, 
not mars.

4. How does your module deal with time zones?

5. I've also written an alternative to std.date.  Please check it out:
