So, what do people think we should allow as input in terms of string parsing. I am thinking of (d=digit): dddd - year d/dddd or dd/dddd - month/year dddd/dd/dd - year/month/day dddd/dd/dd hh:mm:ss - year/month/day hour:minutes:seconds Do you think this will suffice ?
d or dd - date of current monthd/d or dd/dd - both ambiguous for month/day or day/month of current year (USA = month/day, CA = day/month despite which many in CA use as month/day)
Except for "d", which is probably agreed unambiguous hence easy to implement, the issue is whether to wholly reject entries that lack a 4-character year. To accept anything less, a local preference would have to be supported, yes? Maybe a date format per country (or is the date format specified already in the OS?)
