I propose that we could add a new "field type" with a name like optional_date. The converter handler for that type could handle an empty field in whatever way we feel is reasonable, without breaking existing applications. (Let the fight over "reasonable" begin! :^)
That's fine by me. And reasonable would be '', since otherwise it really isn't optional. :-) OK, I could accept that None would work too, but '' *has* to work. You can't force end-users to enter magick cookies. I'd also be interested on you take on issue #171, returning empty lists...
