1. We've never used it, but I think it's RR, not RRRR.
2. The reason we've never used it is that we have to deal with dates before 1950. RR turns 50-99 into 1950-1999, and 00-49 into 2000-2049.

It's not truly compliant (IMO) unless you can enter (for example) both 1949 and 2049. This means 4 digit year fields.
