I just realized I forgot to mention what Jeff Schiller's comments were.
He said essentially that 1) the field should be easy to sort by date (using
generic sorting utilities), which in practicality means that the field
needs to be year,month,day,hour,min (or the reverse order), and 2) it
should be easy to parse.
The existing format is already in this form; the ATT code was
converting from a date in exploded (text) form to 32-bit time.
The expansion to 4 digits for the year was necessitated by expiration
dates being set to (nearly) midnight, Dec 31, 1999, LOCALTIME.
