Smalyshev added a comment. Even if we allow any string as date, we still have to decide what to do with such data on export. Most external tools can not work with or even represent invalid dates. Also, searching, etc. needs some sanity in dates to be able to compare it. If we allow dates like September 31, it would be outside of any search or matching algorithm.
