I don't know about "official" definition (as a matter of fact, I seem
to remember several stardates being "re-used"), but an old Star Trek
Calendar I have (circa 72-73?) used a neat system:  All the dates on
the calendar were "stardates" in the format YYMM.DD.  Therefore, the
stardate today would be 8602.24...
