Default Calculating age of death

I would easily rule DATEDIF as more not reliable than it ever has been.

Good for quick and easy non-critical computations only.

Hence, DATEDIF is broken (at XL2007 SP2), at least for the "md" option,
although once broken, I am not so sure how safe it is to assume the other
options did not get broken as well (or won't get broken at SP3 and beyond),
especially given that DATEDIF is an undocumented function.
