I'm talking about all the legacy clients - remember the whole point of this process is to keep people able to use the sites with legacy clients, without it, we have solutions to all these problems. So I really don't care about WF2 clients, they can do what they want (although I need to be able to style the controls, and have tight expectations of what I'm going get unless the user actively doesn't want something). What I need though is that legacy clients work. And for that I do not believe DATE does, simply since users REQUIRE a hint to enter the date, we cannot do that in WF2 documents, without confusing the WF2 user. > The format presented to the user is a localized one from the I realise I'm very bad at English, but is what I wrote really so un-understandable that you got completely the wrong end of the stick? > All of the examples we provided have format hints of one kind or > another.
