it seems that if i select 31st Sept as a date in a  hobo app field it
triggers an exception, rather than a "please enter a valid date".

obviously this suggests rails and/or ruby understands that there are
only 30 days in September at some level - but i don't understand why
it throws an exception, rather than rounding it to the nearest valid
date.

If I enter "Fred" in an integer field I get zero, for example.

Notwithstanding the above, I installed the validates_timeliness gem,
added a valdidates_date, and expected the problem to go away....

Amazingly, same result. validates_timeliness also happily lets the
invalid_date exception occur. surely i'm not the first to hit this? is
it because i'm in a euro timezone?
