Datebox format/2-digit years

Hi,

I have a databox defined as:

<datebox id="dob"  visible="true" format="${labels.ui.locale.dateformat}" lenient="false"/>

where the label is set to MM/dd/yyyy.

When a user enters a two-digit year instead, the datebox converts it to a 4-digit year adding 1900 to the year. However, when I get the value of the database, i.e. dob.getValue(); It returns a date object with only the two digit year, like so:

DOB: Sat Aug 08 00:00:00 UTC 89

How do I keep from user's entering a 2-digit year? Or, how do I get the value displayed in the datebox, a converted 4-digit year? Is there a better way to handle dob.getValue() returning a date?
