Xavier,
I accidentally deleted your message before going throught it in depth; so I'm working from memory.
What is the source of the large numbr of dates you are processing/validating? If the source is automated, why aren't the dates validated at input?
Are you really needing to make sure the string is a valid date, or are you parsing for specific dates?

"...three factors have forever altered the traditional ''freedoms'' coincident with the hunter-gatherer way of life:
* swift population increase...,
* the rapid advance of technology, and, most influential &...dangerous of all,
* a perverse, self-centered mind-set that shapes the character of many human actions"
