It's in the spec that there has to be only one date-data-entry control?  I
can understand (although it's ill-conceived) not having the "normal" three
select boxes, but surely you could still have three INPUT boxes?

If a client of mine was peddling the idea of having a date input that *has*
to take yyyymmdd as user input, I'd be arguing long and hard.

Oh, so you *are* taking the date apart and putting it back together again.
You said you didn't want to have to do that, though?  So why not put it
back together as a CF-ready date?
