That's how I've always thought about it.  I spent many years
doing the math in my head before I found date2local; not too sure
when that was.  This is what I use:

Date:formatfield="%<(nodate{text})%{text}%|%(date2local 
{text})%(pretty{text})%>"

I never thought to try it for scan; I would vote for turning that
on by default, too.

Thanks.
