Well they should be. I have several books that have known year, but no month anywhere.
What's the official way to deal with these kind of issues?

I mean, I can't just tag them 1/1/101, for I do know the year (or month in some cases)


Why not include (day:0,) month:0 and year:0 values? and then omit them in those arithmetic searches (if they bother)?

atm, I must add a false month, which is not accurate at all (and I like accuracy ).
Calibre is built upon standard tools. Thedevelopers don't have to wory about dealing with non-standard when writing code in other places.
Dates follow date rules
Strings follow string rules.

a 1/1/YYYY is your best choice when only the Year is known.
Setting the day to 1 when only Month of a year is Known.

the 1/1/101 is = to the default(Unknown/not set)
