3. Date handling
Sometimes I've got data with invalid dates and it would be great if it
could replace all the bad ones with, say "0000-00-00".            

Oh dear $DEITY, no.      

I think it would be best if we limited ourselves right now to discussing the
problems themselves and not debating the pros and cons of possible solutions.   

It seems I need to point out that the 0000-00-00 thing was supposed to
be a joke.
 

That's a relief! :)

I guess I've spent so much time racing from colo to colo to office and answering midnight pager calls that my humor-detector got broken.

Cheers,
