[Zope] Better Date processing?

I'm using Zope 2.6.1, and lots of the products I'm creating require that dates be entered in web forms and then stored as DateTime objects (since I need to compare them, etc.). However, using the <input .. name="foo:date"> results in user-unintelligible error messages when the format is not correct, and the formats accepted are not very flexible. Is there a better way? Is there a product that does a better job of handling date input/output?
