Hi Behdad,
Glad to hear the good news. Is there anything that may impact end users? If there is, please provide a none-technical overview of the changes that will affect normal users of Persian text on computer.
What I meant about U+060D is that I expected to find something about it in /UNIDATA/PropList.txt but it wasn't there. That is the reason I asked. Now I have figured it out. Both the applicable defaults and also explicitly in UnicodeData.txt. Sometimes I find UCD (Unicode Character Database) files confusing. Is there any hope they will be cleaned up further? For example, why not explicitly include characters in all expected places instead of relying on fallback and default properties?

Excellent news. While talking about clarifications, I couldn't find the
properties for U+060D. Do you have information in this regard?
No idea. What kind of information are you looking for? If this is what you like to hear, yes using that character instead of slash, solves your poblem of entering short dates. :-)
Ok, here comes the more info from Chapter 8 of Unicode available online at:
http://www.unicode.org/versions/Unicode4.0.0/ch08.pdf#G20596
It says:
Date Separator. U+060D ARABIC DATE SEPARATOR is used in Pakistan and India between the numeric date and the month name when writing out a date. This sign is distinct from U+002F SOLIDUS, which is used, for example, as a separator in currency amounts.
