Thanks Alan, Noam and Dan
Its the old CF server side validation:
having a field called 'foo_date' is a signal to CF to do date validation on
the field 'foo'.
(also _eurodate, _float, _integer, _required, _range, _required, _time
CKWACK page 317)
The "foo_date" field gets passed as normal EXCEPT that it doesn't appear in
the forms.fieldnames, hence why cf_formsURL2attributes ignores it.
Hmmm....
