Personally, I quite enjoy the current behaviour. :)
While I agree that the automatic correction of invalid dates is a
feature and not a bug, I also feel that the ability to set the whole
date at once without having to parse a locale-dependent string would
be useful. The need to set the components in a certain order - and
some of them twice - in order to obtain an arbitrary date is, at
best,
inelegant.

That all would be avoided is <<class isot>> would be allowed both
ways without hack.
ISO Time: Year-Month-Day-T-Hours(0-24)-Minutes-Seconds
Isn't it great?
As far as I know currently AS allows for AS Date --> ISO Time but
not the other way around.
Even if ISO Time is available, we will continue, for years, to
receive dates in different local formats.
No we wouldn't...
set adate to text returned of (display dialog "Enter date:")
set adate to adate as isotime
....
Now, no matter where you were, you can play with the date of the user.
I described three of them but I assume that Arabic countries have
their own ones, that Eastern countries have their own ones.
It would be really useful to have the ability to decipher these
formats with 'in_the_box' tools.
Refusing to offer this kind of tool is deciding that only one format
need serious treatment and that others are 2nd class ones, what I
name: segre… !

It would not matter where one was, since I assume one would enter a
date as his/hers computer uses it, the conversion would be done properly
