You would need two things.

1. Separation of the components of the date in different elements.
2. Conditional constraints, supporting different constraints on an
   element's value based on a value in some other element or 
   attribute, which W3C's Schema mechanism doesn't have.

But it does have support for dates.  You just have to live with the
syntax they've chosen.
