Hi,

I ask myself why some fields only defined as date. Date and datetime fields 
are always stored as timestamp, so the difference is only that date uses 
midnight as time.

eg start and stop are type date, so there is no chance to define "start at 
11:00 am"
"Last updated" is datetime, "New until" only date.

Imho this is inconsistent. Date fields are ok for birthday or such fields, 
but not for above kind of fields.
I think date2cal change that. i would like to have this as datetime in 
general. What do you think?
