> {{XMLPropertyListConfiguration.PListNode}} in its {{setDateValue()}} method just ignores parsing exceptions caused by invalid date property values. The values are not added to the newly created configuration object.
> It makes sense that parsing is robust and error-tolerant. However, rather than simply swallowing exceptions, there should at least be a log output, so that users have a chance to determine that something went wrong during loading of a configuration.
> Maybe we can later add a strict mode which fails on loading configuration files with invalid properties.
