This won't work, as the expected value between [convert-date] and
[/convert-date] (if used) is the date format, not the number of days.

The magic answer is:
	[convert-date days="[value days]"][/convert-date]

This is the only way to get [value days] interpolated properly, other than
putting it inside a [calc] or [perl] block, ala:
	[calc]$Tag->convert_date([value days]);[/calc]

Note in the first case above the quotes around [value days] are *required*.

	-Bill
