YAY!!! You got me on the right track:
<extend tag="input" for="date">
<old-input merge include-blank="&true" order="month,day,year"/>
</extend>
<extend tag="form" for="User">
<old-form merge>
<field-list fields="name, email_address, administrator,
birthday" param>
<birthday-view:>
<input merge include-blank="&false" start-
year="&Time.now.year - 100" end-year="&Time.now.year"/>
</birthday-view:>
</field-list>
</old-form>
</extend>
IT WoRKs!
