Presumably you meant:
... short month names or digits WOULD make the date navigator more 
accessible....
I think this is the best option, 3 character month names and 2 digit years. Do 
other languages have valid short month names available?
As for icons, it would be a nice idea but, rethinking my suggestion, icons are 
generally bad for usability as an exclusive indicator. As a visual cue or 
function you created/assigned yourself they are great. However, novice users 
take no meaning from icons, even obvious ones such as printer icons so 
accompanying text is pretty essential.
