Using minInclusive and maxInclusive for example works for me with MSXML 
4 and with Xerces-Java, example schema is

<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
   version="1.0">

<xs:element name="root">
   <xs:complexType>
     <xs:sequence>
       <xs:element name="date" maxOccurs="unbounded">
         <xs:simpleType>
           <xs:restriction base="xs:date">
             <xs:minInclusive value="2005-01-01" />
             <xs:maxInclusive value="2006-01-01" />
           </xs:restriction>
         </xs:simpleType>
       </xs:element>
     </xs:sequence>
   </xs:complexType>
</xs:element>

</xs:schema>

Example XML document is

<root>

   <date>2005-03-01</date>
   <date>2005-01-01</date>
   <date>2006-01-01</date>

   <date>2007-01-01</date>

</root>

The last date element is flagged by both validators as being invalid.

I am not sure however why <http://www.w3.org/TR/xmlschema-2/#date> does 
not list any possible constraining facets for that date data type.
