Eike,

yes, there is a problem with the existing data. AFAIK, many programs output dots
instead of commas as decimal separators in Poland, and improving the programs
would mean that parsing the values becomes impossible. So there is a problem.

However, I still have to see a document where the format 1 sty 2006 is being
used, and then parsed. The format is very frequent in mail program headers (not
of Polish origin, but coming from Redmond ;) ), but not in the spreadsheet or
textual data. More problems could be with the change from the default ISO to the
dd.mm.yyyy, as the ISO format is actually used. In my opinion, it should be
still available but not default (at least not default in the Writer, as Writer
doesn't really parse textual data as Calc can).

Some empirical justification: the query for "Gru" in the biggest Polish corpus
(www.korpus.pl) gives no results, whereas the query for "XII" gives more than
1000 results (that's the upper limit of hits in the corpus software), and all
are dates. I tried other month abbreviations, none found. Nobody uses them in
writing (especially in hand-writing).

Note that the dates are written not as 2-V-2005 but simply 2 V 2006 (no 
hyphens).
