That would not fail validation (on the JS side or the CF side) if the validation was properly written. They'd have to enter something outright invalid, like letters, for it to fail. That's what I'm talking about, and I don't see this having an effect on the user experience since it is very rare and means that they've disabled JavaScript. You can disagree with me which is fine, but it doesn't change my view of things, which is: if the user disables JavaScript and then enters totally invalid values into date fields or number fields, they don't get those populated with their bad data when the form redisplays.
