Well, here we have two models.  Both assume your comments about users.

First model:
- User makes changes to some fields.
- User saves changes; no changes are saved due to an error with a date.
- User ignores error message and walks away thinking 'job done'.

Second model:
- User makes changes to some fields.
- User saves changes; as many changes as possible are saved due to an
error with a date.
- User ignores warning message and walks away thinking 'job done'.

Which do we prefer?
