git blame is your friend here.  As far as I can work out, the line was
commented out with the expectation that any code that calls
CanBookBeIssued() would have already verified that the due date, in
this case set via a global due date or a due date specified by the
operator, is valid.  Note that in this context, the $datedue parameter
passed to CanBookBeIssued() is allowed to be undef, since most of the
time you'll be having AddIssue() calculate the due date.

Galen
