How do I get the parameter to be a list of dates?
You can't. :list joins multiple parameters into a single list, but an 
<option> gives just a single parameter.
But you don't need such things - you can compute start_date and 
end_date trivially (inside the form action) from the *only* integer 
parameter you need, the year.
