Great stuff; as usual.

Just one nag;  you wrote this sentence:
  "Is it all that costly to wait an extra half a second for the additional
   feature of ISO dates?"

That can be taken out of context (like I did here ;) really easy and make 
it look like you think it takes half an extra second to load a sheet.
So I suggest to put the 5.5 million in there somewhere, or take an 
estimate of, say, 1000 dates for a sheet and print the effective 
miliseconds for that.
