Absolutely, you'll end up in the same situation as we have with datetime, and end up with a control which is fundamentally useless as people just aren't able to think in global formats, forms have localisation context and only the server really knows. I think we could do with looking at each feature in WF2 for legitimate use-cases and see how they meet those use cases. As at the moment I'm stuggling to see it on quite a few of them. Cheers, Jim.
