Calendar should create a datetime value in a form instead of string

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Include calendar in form like so: <%= f.calendar_date_select
:start_date, :embedded => true %>
2. Fill out form, selecting a date and time for "start_date" and submit
3. If start_date is supposed to be a datetime object, you get an error. 

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
If I select, using the calendar, a date and time of February 24, 2010 12:30
PM, the calendar should understand that this is "2010-24-02 12:30:00" and
the form should accept it. After all, I am using this calendar to select a
date on my form, not a string.

Instead, the form submits "February 24, 2010 12:30 PM" as the value for
start_date. This is a string, and not a valid datetime.
