I'm sorry, but I do not see how more rants about how the world should be (but 
is not) are helpful in finding an acceptable compromise that improves the 
current situation. What's your proposed way forward?

> Storing "Gregorian date of February 32" is the same as storing "foo".


No, it's obviously not. The first example contains two machine readable 
numbers: month number 2 and day number 32. The second example contains nothing. 
And it's not even a fair example because we never allowed day 32.

> we do know which Gregorian and Julian dates exist.


I think we do not (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/February_30), but even if we 
do, how does this change anything? Why should it be forbidden to store e.g. the 
birth date of a fictional comic book character that was born on February 31? I 
suggest to read http://blog.wikimedia.de/2013/02/22/restricting-the-world/ 
again.
