I even could avoid using Flow... ;=)

In principle it is a good idea, but doesn't conform to the idea of DDD 
where validation rules are business rules. That's why they should be 
placed in the domain models.

This was one reason for me to choose Flow. This project Im working on 
ports an old Zend Framework application from 2009, now to Flow.

How to do this? I added my validation rules to the properties to be
validated and in case of the date property I run into this issue. What
other I could do?
