Actually, event listings based on dates were one of the reasons why 
I added conditional markup in the first place.  :-)

How about conditionals like this instead ...?

    (:if date 20051206-20051210 :)   display during Dec 6-9, 2005
    (:if date -20051206 :)   display before Dec 6, 2005
    (:if date 20051206- :)   display on or after Dec 6, 2005
    (:if date 20051206 :)    display only on Dec 6, 2005
    (:if ! date 20051206 :)   display *except* on Dec 6, 2005 
    (:if date 200512 :)      display during Dec 2005
