 		Return true if the value is a valid date. Uses JavaScript's built-in Date to test if the date is valid, and therefore does no sanity checks. Only the format must be valid, not the actual date, eg 30/30/2008 is a valid date.
-		<p>This method should not be used, since it relies on the <code>new Date</code> constructor, which behaves very differently across browsers and locales. Use <code>dateISO</code> instead or one of the locale specific methods (in localizations/ and additional-methods.js).</p>
