ID3 mandates ISO-8601-style dates. The QL developers are interested in being as standards-compliant as possible, and so we do not support writing broken tags; additionally, supporting non-standard date formats may require beefing up parsing and sorting code in several places. For these reasons, it is unlikely that incorrect date tags will ever be accepted (even with a warning). I recommend using a different tag (i.e. something other than 'date') to store the extended date ranges you describe, or perhaps only the second half of them.
