Formatting dates based on the system locale is BAD, BAD, BAD in a *mutli

of confusion.
Whatever step is taken, please consider that multi-user environments
contain usually also multiple locales, en-US being frequently one of the
locales. Please also note, that even the date is often not stored
correctly, because when you enter new data in a new cell (or old cell),
cells might be formatted like MM/DD/YYYY although the user expects
DD/MM/YYYY.
If you don't explicitly assign a number format with a locale to cells,
every user can view and edit numbers and dates according to his
configured locale. I consider that a good thing and don't want to change it.
