I did indeed see DateBocks, and like it very much! For a lot of use 
cases, your solution is perfect. The immediate verification you do (with 
JS) is very cool.

I admit freely that Chronic tends a bit towards the academic, but I hope 
it will find its place. You can do some fun things with Chronic like 
setting the context to the past, setting a "now" date on which to base 
everything, specifying a block of 12 hours to use in case of unadorned 
times (like 5:00), and returning the entire time span for date/times 
that are longer than one second.
