Checked in as WHATWG revision r7336.
Check-in comment: Clarify that the month of a yearless date is a Gregorian month, and the date from such a month. The date itself, of course, isn't in the Gregorian calendar, since there's no year.

Comment 3 Ian 'Hixie' Hickson 2012-09-12 00:28:58 UTC 
Well it's not technically a date in the Gregorian calendar (we'd have to know which year, if it was). But I agree that we should say the month is a Gregorian month.
