You mean the above solution isn't elegant?

Me too.  But the question asked for a DTML solution without modifying
DateTime.

I whole heartedly agree!  Bravo.  I'll bet DC would take the combined
module and graft it.  Why wouldn't they? The DateTime module has enough
annoying little things in it (or/and lacks in just enough features) to give
them a pretty constant ear ache.
