It's a far better tradeoff to force people to modify some scripts than complicate the model with client-driven formatting. Sticking to one date format makes the server side bits much simpler overall, and also eliminates possible ambiguation issues with the submitted format being misconfigured in the form. If we wanted everything to work for everyone without the need for changes we should still be coding table-based, CSS-free layouts for NS4. .max PS.
