Dang. Did it again. You wanted scenarios...

A typical example would be a Date Due field where a valid date = when it 
was done, a NULL value = not done yet that we know of, and a 0000-00-00 
value = it has been declared that it never will be done. Reports for 
this data must be able to distinguish between all three casees.

Additionally, I have legacy data/logic being replicated in Rails that 
expects to find and handle 0000-00-00 date values a specific way. AFAICT 
I have no way to continue the legacy data/logic systems using Rails as I 
cannot populate a date field with 0000-00-00 to remain consistent with 
existing data.
