But John, they don't   see " 00/00/00".   They see  "          "  (blanks,
nada, nothing) so we don't have to explain anything.   We also don't have
to do anything.  It just happens that way.  If users start seeing 
"1/01/0001" popping up everywhere they'll kid the daylights out of us.  If
we have to start coding separate fields, doing IFGTs, and setting up work
fields we won't have gained a single advantage. 

btw, I apologise to everyone for carrying this on.  It really is tilting
at windmills, and I should have just let it go.

 don't know. Now you will see a 0001-01-01, it means we still don't know.
