Interesting, that's a new one for me!  Which browsers does MKDoc
support exactly?  Do you have a browser farm to test new releases
against?  

I'm Mac-less at the moment but I could see about addressing that (cue
dreams of shiny brushed aluminum and candy-colored buttons).

This looks fine but it doesn't meet Bruno's requirement to put the
labels (month names) into the template for i18n.  I'm not sure how to
do that and still yank the selected one up to the top of the list.
