Well, I know from my own experience that date input is a pain in the ass. I
therefore support any modifications that enhance this.

Indeed, I would like to have the option to turn automatic date recognition off.
I often write both in Romanian, German and English, in various system locales,
so the input gets almost always messed up.
Even more troublesome is the date pattern, i.e. DD.MM.YY vs MM.DD.YY. I never
use the MM.DD.YY, but OOo insists on this (because I have installed the English
version, to avoid various other localisation problems).
I would welcome a general setting, where one could opt for a standard date
format, overriding system defaults and the like. Also, there should be an option
to set the output format, IF COPY/PASTE or exporting to CVS files (or other
formats).
In summary, the 'date' needs some real cleanup. Building some sensible
formatting options seems a good start.
