I don't quite see this point around special checks being required if I make

RDBO uses DateTime to handle it's objects I believe. YMMV but I think
it may handle the -00-00 case under the hood.

The latest (0.09) CPAN version of this Catalyst plugin now contains support for
RDBO. You can specify a RDBO class name as the 'dbi_dbh' config param, and it
will return the dbh like:
My::RDBO::Session->new->dbh
This is similar to the DBIC and CDBI support in that same module.
