The start_date.getValue() call returns a Date object, so the date you're
seeing it the default Date.toString() behaviour of Java.
Unfortunately, AFAIK, there's currently no method on the Field widget to
retrieve its converted string value (it's only part of the generated
XML). Seems useful to me though, and would only be 3 lines of code.
