Wow, thank you Til for taking this to the maintainer :) Good to see that we didn't miss anything 
obvious and it's just a case of "it's complicated".

Tangent to this topic: for a more approachable way to handle dates, I'll wait for ts.el to land into 
Emacs core. Someone we know ;-) is sending recurrent reminders to the author
https://github.com/alphapapa/ts.el/issues/29

That library has a more modern approach, hiding all the complexity about dates in Emacs. Its API is 
not yet perfectly ironed out (imo) but it works.

Best,
