That's cool.  I'm just pointing out the issues here, and they're not 
terribly obscure.  If an undergrad student wants to store citation 
information for their term papers, they need to be able to accurately 
store dates that simply don't always conform to YYYY-MM-DD.  And just 
dumb text strings aren't too helpful.

Likewise, movie dates are usually just YYYY, IIRC.
