+1. In most cases, we pride ourselves on carefully validating the
input we receive and people on this list have been known to disparage
other products for failing to do the same. But our validation of
timestamps is notably less strict. I think that's somewhat unavoidable
given that there are multiple date-time formats that somebody might
use, but I'm in favor of not being more lax than we have to be. If
some input can't be interpreted as anything sensible, we should reject
it rather than making up a fake value. However, I agree that it's best
not to do such tightening in the back-branches.
