FWIW, a brief snoop didn't turn up any null date fields in our MySQL RT
database.

Is this accurate assessment? If so can I just assume that 1/1/1970 = null?
Yes, that's right. One other twist, if I recall correctly, (it may depend
on what database you use- we run Oracle) is that sometimes null dates are
stored as null in the database. So you may have to allow for both null and
1/1/1970 as meaning "no date set".
