Seconds since Epoch are not good to express calendar dates expecially
not those in the future - it is impossible to know how many leap
seconds will be inserted in future years. 

Well, this is theory because OpenPGP and GnuPG do use Epoch times
internally.  The current parser is only able to handle a date and
can't cope with a time part, so please use the "YYYY-MM-DD" format.
