Details

Currently, when birth-year is not specified, it's considered as 1900.  Furthermore, the whole Birthday field is displayed as:
Birthday: XXX MMM DD 1900 00:00:00 GMT +0200 (Romance Daylight Time)

First: the hour-string after the year should be hidden.
  NB: if birth-year is known, hour string is not shown

Second: when the birth-day is not specified, it's not correct to consider it as 1900.  Better just hide it altogether.  Well, there are still living people on Earth born on 1900 :)
Also see bug 544315
Yes, I found that bug after I filed this one. The problem in that bug was that it used "year of born" which made it hard to search.  Maybe we should change its title to "birth-year"??  And that bug didn't talk about hour string either.
