yched noted back in #323112: Vertical Tabs that Anonymous is not properly getting replaced:

Lack of validation

Might also be worth putting some validation for the date? Currently I can type in:

Lack of validation

I imagine I can do similar things elsewhere, too.

This patch validates the date and uses 'Anonymous' if the user textfield is empty.

The 'validation' function also allows dates past the 31st of a month, but since we're not doing hard validation I don't think this is a concern.

Title: Authoring information vertical tab is a bit funky » Authoring information sucks

Let's fix this for real - let the user enter a human-readable date and find some way to let the user select either Anonymous or an auth'd user. Additionally, for this patch, Anonymous username is a variable (I forget what)

Title: Authoring information sucks » Authoring information vertical tab mishandles Anonymous.

Javascript validation is a bigger issue than this issue, IMO. Also, lets use descriptive titles. Lets just fix the bug.

I haven't fixed the bug, but the patch needed to be updated.

Previous patch had some of the validation code left in. Revised patch that just fixes the bug. This is also the same code we're now using with the D6 backport of Vertical Tabs.

I know that now it's getting really nit-picky but let's optimize and use one var statement instead of two.

Looks good.

But this should be using the setting for Anonymous user name at admin/config/people/accounts.
