I agree; I think we shouldn't change basic behavior for more advanced
usages unless it's something many people are interested in and we keep a
backward compatibility.

The thing is \date is a macro with one parameter, a string. That's way
\date{} doesn't do anything and \date{\today} prints today's date where
\today return today's date as a string. Starting to introduce new kinds
of inputs - e.g. {y}{m}{d} - to the \date macro would just confuse
people, I think.
