Go's reference time for layouts is:
Mon Jan 2 15:04:05 MST 2006
which can also be expressed as:
01/02 03:04:05PM '06 -0700
For more information: http://golang.org/pkg/time/#pkg-constants535
By picking a default date, there is less parsing that needs to happen, plus they chose a date that shows definitively how to handle things like leading zeroes, day/month ordering and other edge cases that aren't discernible from all dates.
