I don't think there was any the last time I looked.

And that makes for a lot of confused people as the MM/DD/YYYY format is a 
rather strange one.

LLSD seems to support dates though, which probably would be the best to
do it. 

But, the whole thing is rather crusty.

See for example the whole mess with the CharterMember part of the
message. If length is 1, then it's a byte corresponding to an enum of
the account type. If longer, then it gets interpreted as a string, for a
custom title.

The name "CharterMember" leads me to believe that it started as a
boolean value, then was adapted to handle additional account types, then
the account title hack was added.
