Feature request: Date validation of manual entry on blur

[GoogleCodeExporter]

I LOVE this plugin, but it would be nice if the datepicker library would do 
date validation upon blur (at the same time it is closing the picker), if the 
user has chosen to type in a date instead of using the picker.

I am thinking like a default onClose method, like:

onClose: function (dateText, inst) {
  var thisObj = jQuery(this);
  var minYear = thisObj.hasClass('2kDate') ? 2000 : 1900;
  try {
    var newDate = jQuery.datepicker.parseDate( 'mm/dd/yy', dateText );
    while (newDate.getFullYear()<minYear)
      newDate.setFullYear(newDate.getFullYear()+100);
    newDate = jQuery.datepicker.formatDate( 'mm/dd/yy', newDate );
    thisObj.val(newDate);
  } 
  catch (e) { thisObj.val(""); }
}});
