Standard cfform validation:
<cfinput name="II_D_DC5"
value="#dateformat(getapp.II_D_DC5,'mm/dd/yyyy')#"
class="II_D_DC1"
type="text"
message="Please enter a valid date"
validateat="onSubmit"
validate="date" />

Just got off the phone with them - if they don't associate a specific
day with the date, then for legal reasons there *can't* be specific day
with it - it can't even default to the 1st. They may even want to enter
"sometime in 1979"!
That pretty much changes everything. Looking like I'll have to change
all the SQL Date fields to accept text and just let them enter whatever
the heck they want, since that's what they're asking ("1/23/2006" or
"2/1998" or "sometime in 1987"!).
Whatever!! - this is outside the original spec that *specified*
specific date formats, so I get to bill them more now. They're lawyers,
so they have unlimited pockets anyway, no?
Clients! They'll walk all over you with "feature creep" if you let them,
huh?
