Hmm, with Seaside 2.5b7 and Squeak 3.7full image I get 3/3/2005 which 
definitely isn't the correct behavior either altough it makes a little 
more sense than what you're seeing.  What version of Squeak are you 
running?  My tutorial was written under 3.6...obviously something has 
changed with date handling so that invalid dates are no longer an error 
in the Date class.  Frustrating.  I can offer a patch to preserve the 
behavior of isValid.  I could also patch the WADateSelector>>date method 
to validate the date.  This would preserve the existing behavior in 
WADateSelector.  Avi, any thoughts on this?  "don't care" counts, I 
guess :-)  Hell, I've just attached the patch, reasonbly close to 
preserving the previous behavior of #date and #isValid.
