1) Why does put "4" is a date return true? If this function doesn't actually work, why is it still available? I'd like to be able to have users enter a date without any kind of punctuation (i.e., 08142007) and be able to validate it as a valid date. The same applies to entering 1315 as a time (no colon).
Time & date handling is... complicated. This particular "feature" has to do with the fact that rev knows a date format of "the seconds". As that is just the number of seconds passed since some day in the 70-ties, every integer number evaluates to a date in rev.
Basically you have to do your own validation for any date or time that is not known to be correct already, and "is a date" is extremely useless.
