I've actually run with the following:

  def validate
    errors.add('start_date', 'is not in Date format') if
!start_date.kind_of?(Date)
    errors.add('end_date', 'is not in Date format') if !end_date.kind_of?(Date)
  end

Its seems that the Rails controller tries to convert it to Date and
either succeeds or fails (without throwing an exception).  So I just
test to see at the subsequent validate stage whether there is a Date
object or not
