Actually I haven't. I voted on one, that in order to fix would require some
actual safety checking be put into the date parsing (SDK-14932) - this is an
actual bug as it's failing to parse valid dates. I also voted on the general
"let me validate responses" bug (ASC-3153), as mostly my date problems stem
from Flex simply producing rubbish dates instead of a null or an exception
when encountering invalid XML data, which I assume was a design decision
(for speed's sake) rather than an actual bug. Some stricter unmarshalling
code that regexes against the ISO standards is still on my to-do list, but
it's not that near the top yet :)
