Nice exit strategy :-)
I said up front this was a box-ticking exercise for these folks,
however, rather than just tick the box and move on (meh - who cares if
we can store 2009-02-31 - it stores all the valid dates which are the
ones that matter :-p ) I prefer to discuss the issue and do the best
job we can to make it a practical, usable and useful feature - which
is kinda what we usually pride ourselves in doing!
