Should the checks be based on locale then?  They could be smaller checks based 
on one local per... It will keep from trying to have a 1 set of condition 
statements to rule them all.

won't matter for countries that don't use the gregorian calendar (like 
thailand) 
as the dates will be wrong anyway.

for countries that "sort" of use the gregorian calendar, like china, yes you'd 
have to expand the unicode range. though i think it would be better to supply 
the CLDR vetted date parts & not allow users to shoot their feet off w/wacky, 
non-standard date part names which also might make parsing them back to Dates 
hard or impossible.
