I like this, and I guess it's revealing that I didn't know you could
do things like that. But who would I be to let lack of experience and
knowledge be inhibiting factors? :-)
However, this doesn't begin to touch all the issues adressed
previously in the discussion, in particular it does not let the parser
catch illegal content in <date>s (like e.g. regexp constraints could),
nor does it solve locale problems (which I get the impression the data
type advocates want to)
It's still a neat trick, though.
