Actually, "international" (formerly called "foreign") users might not expect date inputs to be in the context of their locale but in the context of the locale of the page. Why would one intuitively expect (for example) a U.S. site to accept Finnish dates? Unless it is obvious that the format of the date control is managed by the user agent based on the user's preferences, the best thing to do is to document the expected format clearly *next to* the input field (not in it!). -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen at iki.fi http://iki.fi/hsivonen/
