Leap Day Testing

Happy Leap Day!  What does your date-time testing test case library all contain?  For finance and reservation systems date-time testing is a high priority.  Your interface for date selection is obviously important and impacts which negative tests can actually be entered (but need to still be attempted if this software is in your scope).  Feel free to send me more test cases:

Start/End Date selection:
1. past/future dates
2. invalid dates for numeric date-time entry
3. copy/paste ability
4. no entry error

Business Logic considerations:
1. Holidays/excluded dates (e.g. flights)
2. Premium pricing

Possible System/Configuration considerations:
1. Time zones
2. Incorrect system date-time
3. Daylight savings time boundaries for entries
4. entry format selection (m/d/y vs d/m/y)
