I'm slightly confused about one comment in section 5.1. The definition of
"month" says that the only valid string for the month is "Jan" - "Dec", i.e.
no numbers are allowed. Yet in the comments for date-time, it has "dd mm
yy".

It's just a typo in the comments. It should have been "dd mmm yyyy", i.e., (up to) two characters for the day, followed by three characters for the month, followed by (up to) 4 characters for the year.

Numeric months are certainly not allowed.

You might want to check out <ftp://ftp.ietf.org/internet-drafts/draft-ietf-drums-msg-fmt-07.txt> as well as the other work of the DRUMS working group at <http://www.ietf.org/html.charters/drums-charter.html>.
