I really need to learn more about Velocity so I can answer these
questions better....
I thought the URLTag wasn't needed because it just uses
UrlHelper.buildUrl(), which you can also use from Velocity?

The type conversion does this... It validates that your String
represents a Date. I'm not sure (Pat?) how this is logged / added as an
error message (hopefully it would be added as a field error message).

You can easily add this to a base Action class you use as the parent of
all of your Action classes.
