A few words? :)

Regarding to speed of administration (and overall usability) it probably 
is faster to just look in a calendar and select appropriate date in it 
than typing x amount of characters to describe it?
Implementing such feature with full localization support would be a 
challange as well I guess.. ;) But hey, if someone does it, it's a cool 
feature.
..Maybe adding support to the erotea_date2cal to visually select a 
calculated date? some fields selecting days/months/years +/-..

I Agree.
