I think it would be practical with a mechanism to determine whether a date is 
flagged as invalid because of that it is outside QDate's range, or because 
the date itself is invalid(non-existant date). KDateTime provides 
isTooEarly() and isTooLate(). Yes, this is not specific to or triggered by 
the range-extension.

The reason is that when you have an invalid date, you don't know if it is so 
because of an invalid date(user error, so to speak), or that QDate is 
incapable of representing a valid date(the software is lacking).

A matter for qt-bugs?
