Emerald doesn't specify the format for the expiration, so assuming
that its in MMYY format (although the most popular) is not cast
in stone. I don't understand the difference between saying "expiration
dates must be entered in MMYY format" and "expiration dates must be
entered in YYMM format". Emerald still can't enforce either. :(
