related to below but does anyone think its silly to be messing with dates in an app so far in future? Our use case is that we are storing driving licences and their expiry date - to be checked in future - and we are using Zend_Validate_Date to validate input...?
Obviously we can just extend Zend_Validate_Date and override isValid method but just wondering if anyone has any good arguments against above scenario or to why we shouldn't worry about dates so far in future??
