Those in the scholarly world already use BCE and CE as designations for Before the Common Era and Common Era. And those that use AD typically use it wrong - as in 2006 AD. Today's date is actually 18 April AD 2006 (AD standing for Anno Domini - Latin for "In the Year of the Lord" - and comes before the year, not after).
