Neither makes sense. And 20XX is specified as being at the year precision level, so would refer to a year, not a decade.
Suggested improved display:
200X -> unspecified year in range 2000 to 2009 20XX -> unspecified year in range 2000 to 2099
Things I considered and rejected:
Change X to 0 and add an s. This works for something like 202X or 19XX, but both of the above examples get changed to unspecified year in the 2000s which is bad
Using wording unspecified year between 2000 and 2009 but that then implies to the most literal part of my brain that the actual possible range is 2001-2008. And then my brain starts to melt and I start to consider starting a goat circus instead of ever thinking about these things again.
