This is a great idea. Starters might be: Leap years of the 400-year variety Non-leap century years pre-leap-day dates in a leap year February 76th (out of range values) December 35th (out of rangevalues that roll over into the next year) Leap day DST (correctly handle time before, during, after a time change) And, of course, ANYTHING relating to time zones.
