There is no new code. As said, the decision whether to display
nominative or genitive name is rule based during runtime:

* if a day of month is present in the format code, the genitive name for
  MMM and MMMM is displayed
* if no day of month in the format code is oresent, the nominative name
  for MMM and MMMM is displayed

The MMMMM code is a bit problematic, it can't be stored in the ODF file
format and is translated to an equivalent of MMM, so I didn't mention
that while I was at it I also added an optional <DefaultNarrowName>
element to the month (and day) name elements ;-)  Something for the
future.

Simple, the runtime rules are applied, no need for specific genitive
case date formats.
